It has long been felt that the combination of the principal
classed or kind of assurance business in one undertaking would
be of great public benefit. Of late years, so extensively has the
principle of assurance been applied to every circumstance of
life, business, and commerce, to which risk or loss may happen,
that not only has the number of existing companies been multi-
plied, but others have been formed in rapid succession for the
transaction of some peculiar class or kind of assurance business.
Thus, in addition to life and fire companies, we have new insti-
tutions specially established for accidental death, railway pas-
sengers, guarantee for fidelity of trust, plate-glass, travellers by
land and sea, and various other kinds of assurance business, but
generally acting separately and distinctly from each other. It
is, therefore, for the purpose of combining these several branches
in one institution, and thereby offering improved facilities to the
public for the transaction of business, that the Saxon Fire and
General Assurance Society has been established, In close con-
nection with the Saxon Life Assurance Society.
It is designed by the Saxon Fire and General Assurance
Society, that, in addition to the transaction of ordinary fire busi-
ness, it should meet the demand for any special class of assu-
rance which the particular eircumstancesof individuals engaged
iu the various pursuits and occupations of life may require The
important advantages secured by the adoption of life and fire
assurance have been for years past generally acknowledged,
until it has become a subject of universal interest; and, in like
manner, the public are now gradually taking advantage of every
opportunity afforded them by the various assurance institutions
for still further protecting themselves against the risk of loss to
life or property. It would obviously be a great convenience to
a person desiring to avail himself of several of these advantages
if lie could effect all the assurances he requires in one office ;
and, from the constitution of the Saxon Fire and General Assu-
rance Society, be would in many cases be able to effect combined
assurances, the coat of which would be much less than if sepa-
rate policies for the required assurances were taken out in dif-
ferent offices.
