zet_le advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
curauces effected, show clearly the estimation in which the
4„"3Pany is held The following is a statement for the last
'e Years :

This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
sBured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
:wed in the course of five years, may justly be considered as
41;ger than any which could have been reasonably expected.
