PROGRESS OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS. •
The business of this Company since its institution has increased
steadily year by year, until it has attained its present large amount.
In 1825, when the Company was established, few persons compara-
tively availed themselves of Life Assurance; and the amount of
business transacted by the Offices then in existence, though few to
number, was of very limited extent. About the period a the first
investigation of the Company's affairs in 1835, th public interemt in
w °races
a been es a t co a: rid ; anal the suc-
cessful course of the Offices previously established, which was then
becoming more strongly marked, had the effect of directing the at-
tention of many persons to the subject who had not previously con-
sidered it. These circumstances, and the satisfactory result of the
Company's business at the first investigation, had the effect of
greatly accelerating the progress of the institution, and in the period
between the First Division of Profits in 1835 and the Second in 1810,
the income of the Company was mere than doubled. The division
of profit in 1840 again called increased attention to the Company;
and at 1845, the Third Division of Profits, the income was nearly
treble the amount at 1840, the previous Division. The following
