The Brooklyn upon this new und distinctive feature, says, among Other things, " I am particularly pleased By your departure in tho right direction from the ordinary method nf computing thc Surrender Values." "One of the great est drawbacks to thc popularity of Life Insurance, has been the disap pointment and dissatisfaction of retiring Policy holders, at the smallness pf the surrender value paid," &c.
