The Twenty-Third Annual General Meeting of this Society
was held at Edinburgh on the 2nd of May, 1754; William
Stuart Walker, Esq., of 'lowland, in the chair.
•The Report read to the Meeting, and which was unanimously
approved of, contained the following particulars:—
The number of Policies issued during the year ending the Ist
of March ie 620, the sums assured thereby being 282,715/., giving
an addition to the income in Annual Premiums of C. 5951.
The Policies lapsed by death during the year are 84, the sums
assured by which amount to 49,8501, and the bonus additions to
8,4821., making together 68,3321.
In comparing these sums with the amounts for the preceding
year, they exhibit an Increase of seventeen in the number of new
policies, and of about 6,0001. in the sums assured. The increase,
though of moderate amount, must be considered satisfactory,
especially when regard is had to the great competition which
sow exists in the business of I ife Assurance.
The number of Policies lapsed by death is four under that of
last year, and the amount payable nearly 7,0001. less. Keeping
in view the additions made to the business, and the increased age
of the members of the Society, these are most gratifying circum-
stances.
The Sums remaining Assured amount to 4,234,5981.;
The Annual Revenue amounts to 162,0151.;
Anti the Accumulated Fund is increased to 839,3541.

five years' endurance, be declared indisputable on any ground
whatever, and the Assured be entitled to travel or reside beyond
the limits of Europe,without payment of extra premium for such

prospect or intention of going beyond the limits of Ettrope.

Members exceeds
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS.
