Progress of the Standard Life Assurance Company during the
Year 1846 :
The new Policies issued from the 15th of November, 1845, to
15th of November, 1846, the Company's business year, amounted to
a 92, the number of proposals made to the Company during the same
period being 769.
The amotint.of New Assurances, covered by the 592 New Policies
Issued during the year, was 368,6791. 7s. led. (an average of 6251.
for each Polley) ; the amount of Assurances applied for during the
Year being 476,1351. 17s. 9d.
The claims were moderate, both in number and amount, and
considerably less than shown by the mortality tables on which the
Company's calculations are founded. The results in other branches
of the business were favourable.

land was transferred to the Standard Company during the year
1846, being 398 Policies, covering about 200,0001. of assurance, and
being in addition to the new business of the year above reported.

Was transferred to the Standard Company in 1844, continued to exhi-
bit satisfactory results In its progressive development.
The revenue of the Company exceeded 120,0001. per annum.

the benellts of Life Assurance to all who may seek its protection in
th.at form which is best suited to attain their object; while to those
