r. STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY.
ANNUAL REPORT, 1848.
The TWENTY - SECOND ANNUAL GENERA,,L...MEETIN G
of this Company took place on Tuesday, the 15th of February,
within the Company's Office, No 3, George street Edinburg.
"' GEORGE MOIR, Esq. Advocate, in the Chair.
The Report and Statements submitted by the Directers contained
a very satisfactoty aeconnt of the progress of the Institution during
the year 1847. It was reported :
That the 'number of Policies for Life Assurance issued by the
Company from the 15th November, 184 G, to 15th November,
1847, was 621.
That the Sums Assured during the same period, contained in
these Policies, amounted to 443,5781. 4s. I Id.
That the number of applications for Policies made to the Com-
pany, and from which the above transactions were selected,
was 801, cdntaining proposals for Assurance to the extent of
551,663/.
That the Annual Revenue of the Company, as at 15th November,
1847, was 131,316/. 10s. 7d.
That the whole amount of assurance covered by the Company's
Policies, in force at 15th November, 1847, was 3,252,090/.
14s. 10d.
The Report then proceeded as follows:
" The past year has been marked by the most extraordinary fea-
tures as regards commercial affairs and general credit ; but, while
ail classes of society, especially the mercantile community, and our
public institutions connected with the general affairs of commerce,
have felt the pressure of the times, the Life Assurance Institutions
of the country have stood unaffected by the crisis. `;othing can tend
more to extend confidence in these institutions than this result ; and
it is hoped they will always be found affording protection and dis-
pensing benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by those
periodical changes.
" Notwithstanding the unfortunate position of the country during
the pest year, the amount of new business transacted by this Com-
pany has exceeded to a large amount the business of the previous
year. The claims during the year have been greater in proportion
titan usual , but when the increased mortality throughout the king-
dom generally is remembered, the Directors consider they have
reason to be well satisfied with the results."
After the Report and Statements were read, the Chairman con-
gratulated the meeting on the favourable position of the Company,
and its prospects generally, and again brought under notice the
most prominent f'atures in the Report. He 'drew attention to the
great increase of the business, the increase of the revenue, and the
rapid ac umulation of the Company's Funds, which it appeared
HAD BEEN MORE THAN DOUBLED DURING THE LAST
FIVE YEARS.
The following Abstract, showing the new business transacted by
the Company annually since 1842, was referred te, as exhibiting, in
a marked degree, the growing estimation of the STANDARD in
public favour:—
