The benefits flowing from Life Assurance cannot be better
illustrated than by the recorded opinion of the late Mr. Mor-
gan, " that an assurance on any life, effected in any office, is
not only a private but a public benefit ;" and the opinion of a
man of so much knowledge and experience, who devoted a
long life to the management of one of the oldest and most pros-
perous of these establishments. must alone be sufficient to im-
press a conviction of their utility and importance on every re-
flecting mind. The increase of Companies for the Assurance
of Lives so far, then, from being the result of ill advised or
hazardous speculation, is to be attributed to an extended know-
ledge of the protection and security afforded by them, and of
the solid basis and unerring principles on which the experience
of more than a century has proved them to be founded. This
knowledge is increasing and will continue to increase with the
extending intelligence and means of information possessed by
those classes of the community to whom the system of Life 1
Assurance is more peculiarly applicable.
" The Agricultural and General Life Assurance Company,"
is framed upon such principles as to secure the greatest benefits
to its members, and so regulated in its details as to be free from
the usual imperections and defects, and the managers feel as-
sured that the principles upon which it has been founded, tied
the regulations under which it will be conducted, entitle the
establishment to the confidence and preference of the public.
