PROPOSALS, i
BY THE
Injur ance Company of North America.
For Insurance against Fiki, on Dwelling-
Houses, Ware-Houses, and other Buildings (am?
on Goods contained in such Building*) diflant from
PhiUdelphia, in the United States.
I* Common l'»rurancr«, on hazards of the firft
class, wili be undertaken at a premium of about
hall per cent, per annum. For extra hazardous
rifqaes a larger pretrium will be required, "which
will vaiy according to circu"*iftance», feidoai ex
ceeding one per cent, per annum ; bat in some i-n
---ftances, where the property insured U not only in
itfe'f extra hazardous, but rendered still more Co
by the tic in ity of r*tra hazardous buildings and
occupations, rhep»emium demanded will be raised
according to cirewmftanres.
Houses and 'Ware-Houses, the wall* and parti
tions of which are wholly of stone or brick, well
Conftru<sted, so as to b» guarded as well asmay be
against fires from within, and Iree from extra ha
zardous buildings and occupations in their neigh
borhood, will he deemed hazardous of the firft
class, i»d may be insured to their full value.
Also Goods and Merchandize, not ot an extra
hazardous kind, in eafks. bales, or packages, de
* port ted in such build' n g*> to an amount not ex
ceeding 4000 dollars ; but if more than this sum
is required to be insured in one- tenement, an addi>
tioaal premium will be required, in proportion -to
circumstances. '
11. 'rfuranee= will also be made on building? and
go<id< extra hazardous, at premiums proportioned
to th.i rifqu'. But it is not e=fy to arrange th.ffe
under j>nr*ieular heads or ciafTes, so as to defaibe
wch with the necelfary accuracy. Each cafe must
therefore he decided upon according to thecircum
ltaiices a-tending it ; and these circumstances wili,
in general, appear from the description accotnpa
uyTg tie application,
Buddings partly eonftrufled of brick or stone,
are preferable to those wholly wooden. And in i
both cases, the fiile of buiWing, how they are oc- i
cupled, how they are situated, the neighboring
buildings, and how'occupied, are eosfiderations to ,
be taken ir.to view. And with refpeft togoods,
their tendency, whether from their nat*re, or |
from the manner in which they are exposed, either
to commence or to Increase an accidental fire, aisd I
their liability jn such state to receive damage by i
wet, or by sudden and hasty removal, or to be ito-1
len in time of confufion and hurry, are all cir
propcrtioned accordingTyT~~"

Ijti.-d jrem nrn I avai.l; but it fliall be deemed ef
fectual irom the tune of such payment and accep
tance. thereof, whether the policy be immediately
figncd or not.
fd. Insurances may be renewed at the expira
t'on cl the term of the policy, without furtherex
p-rfes than the payment of the premium of the re
new ed term, the circumftancescontinuing the fame
as they were under flood by the Infiirers at the time
t'l;former insurance was made ; but the payment
<»f the premium is elTentiul to such renewal ; ano
if the party insured fullers anytime to elapse after
the expiratiop of theformeririfurar.ee, before he
pays a premium for the renewal, he is not insured
durirg such H:i'e ; «or nthednfuranee be renew
ed en the fcrmer policy but hy computing the
commencement of the renewal from the expiration
of the former,infurance. The fubjefl of inlbr
ance-Jnay ne", :rvh-lefs be open to treaty for a new
infuraoce.
