EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR

1852.
The Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Meeting of its Shareholders.
FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have, as p:easingly as unexpectedly, at the
Close iN the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire
Premiums have not only reached, but exceed £300,000.
The high comparative position held by the Royal in the
Government Returns of Duty is agsin fully nisintained.
The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerablythe amount realised in the precedg year, and in fact
passes that that of any year. with but two exceptions, since the
commencement of thi. Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Foreign Insurances being £15,107 10s.
5d., and of the North American business, whichis kept sepa-
rately, £11,097 16s. 30d.
LIFE BRANCH".
The very gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
state the sum assured on n,.‘v policies for the year 1F•13,2
exceeds even that of the yesr 1861 by £lBO,OOO, and has arrived
at the almost unexampled amount for a stnole year of
£701,427 on 1,498 new policies issued. Until within the last
few years It is believed that such a sum assured as that which
has just b( en announced as the t esult of one year's business
was all but unheard of
• _ _

'Phis portion of the Company's business has been carefully
watched, and cannot fail to give much satisfaction to the
shareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the
futi're to the participating" life assurer.
Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
afforded by a statement of the number rejected. These have
amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum
proposed for assuran^e •mounts to 45.281. Various degrees
of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
No small number of the Assurance Companies of the day
record their accepted lives annually at a sum not much, if at
all, exceeding those which the Royal has declared as inadmis-
Mole in a single year from deterioration of some kind or
another. _ _ _

to complete their review„ „the Directors IIOW advert
briery to the -,ritnd Kingdom, They have to announce that
in l ire Business its progress bas been undoubtedly more
rapid than that of any other Company established either in
London or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
place. The returns of duty have proved this. In Life, the
amount of New Policies already reported make all other
evidence needless.
The Directors conclude their present Report with the
expression of an opinion that. the prospects of the Royal
Insurance Company were never brizhter, and of a consequent
hope, rounded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that
the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater magni-
tude, combining distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a lengthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.
