bifurance Company of North America.
Por Insurance againtl Firi, on Dwelling-
Houses, Ware-Houses, and other Buildings (and
on Goods contained in such Buildings) distant from
Philadelphia, in the United States.
I. Common lufurance?, on hazards of the firft
class, will he undertaken at a premium of ahout
hah per cent, per annum. For extra hazardous
rifques a larger premium will be required, which
will vaiy according to circu'ttftances, feidom ex
ceedir. r one per cent, per annum ; 'out in some in
stances, where rhe property insured is not only in
itfclf extra hazardous, but rendered still more so
by the vicinity of extra hazardous buildings and
occupations, the premium demanded will be raised
according to circumftar.ccs.
Houses and Ware-Houses, the walls and parti
tions of wfciah are wholly of stone or brick, well
conftru&e<*!, (b as to be guarded as well as may be
against fires from whin, and tree from extra ha
zardous buildings and occcupations in their neigh
borhood! will be deemed hazardous of the firft
elafs, and may be insured to theirfull value.
41fo Goods and Merchandize, not of an extra
hazardous kind, in calks, bales, or packages, de
pofi cd in such building'* to an amount not ex- j
ceeding 4Q oo dollars ; bat if more than this sum ;
is required to be insured in one tenement, an addi
tional premium willbe required, in proportion to
circumliances.
11. Insurances will also be made on buildings and
goods extr» hazardous, at premiums proportioned
to thci risque. But it is, aot easy to arrange those
under particular heads or classes, so as to describe
each with the neceflary accuracy. Each cafe must
therefore be decided upon*according to the circum
stances attending it ; and these. circumstances wili,
in general, appear from the description accompa
the application.
Buildings partly conftru&ed of brick or stone,
are preferable to those wholly wooden. And in
both cases, the stile of building, how they arc oc
cupied, how they are situated, the neighboring
buildings, and how occupied, are considerations to
be taken into view. And with refpeA to goods,
their tendency, whether from their nature, or
from the manner in which they are exposed, either
to commence or to increaie an accidental fire, and
their liability in such Hate to receive damage by
wet, or by sudden and hasty removal, or to be sto
len in time of confufion and hurry, are all cir
cumstances of weight ; and the premiums must be
proportioned accordingly.
HI. The following conditiont are to be under
stood by the parties
ift. The Insurance is not binding till the stipu
lated premium be paid ; but it ftiall be deemed ef
fectual from the time of such payment and accep
tance thereof, whether the policy be immediately
signed or not,
ud. Insurances raay be renewed at the expira
tion of the term of the policy, without further ex
per.fe« than the payment of ths premium of the re
newed term,the circumftancescontinuingthe fame
as they were t.nderftood by the Insurers at the time
the former irjfurance was made ; but the payment
of the premium is eiTential ta such renewal j and
if the party ir.furcdfuffers any time to elapse after,
the expirnion of theformer insurance, before he
pays a premium for the renewal, he is not insured
during such time; sor can theinfurance be renew
ed on the former policy but by computing the
commt-ncement of the renewal from the expiration
of the former insurance. The ItibjeA of insur
ance may ne.erthelefs be open to treaty for a new
insurance
3d. If a y othcrinfurance be madeon the fame
property ; it mull be made known at the time of
application, otherwise the policy made on such ap
plication will be void.
4th Goods held in trull, or on consignment,
raay be insured as such in a separate policy ; but
they arenot tebe considered as infuiedotherwife.
sth. This company will not be liable or accoun
table for any loss or damage occasioned by any for
eign iuvafion, orbya>ny military or usurped force
or by peafon of any civil commotion ; or occasion,
ed by gunpowder, aquafortis or other thing of th
like kind kept in the building, or amongst the pro
perty insured.
6th. Bills of Exchange, Bonds and other Secu
rities, Title Deeds, Money, Bank and other pro
niiflbry Notes, are not included in any insurance ;
nor are paintings, medals, jewels, gems, antique
ouriofities, or mirrors exceeding the valae of twen
ty-five dollars each, to be considered asinfuredune
less particularly mentioned aad by special agree
ment.
7th. No insurance will be made for a shorter
term than one year, rtor lor a longer term than fe
vea years. Persons choo'fing to insure for seven
y«ars (hall b eallowed one year's premium by way
of difeount: One third of a years premium {hall
be abated in like manner on an infuraHce for
three years.
Bth. Lofles sustained by fire »a pro; ?rty infursd,
lhall be paid-in thirty days after due prouf and li
quidation thereof, without deduction.
A defcxiption of the property to be infurodwill
be expe£te J with each application, to be made by
amafter carpenter and signed by him, as well as
by ths owner of the building 01 applicant' for in
surance, and atteft,ed before a Notary or principal
Magiilrate, who will certify his knowledge of the
parties and their credibility.

street or road on or near which the building
