REPORT F THE DIRE
Presented at the Annual General Meeting,C heIdTORS. at the Society's
Office, on Thursday, March 2d, 1848.
Baying, at the Meeting held in January, 1847, presented to the
Proprietors and Assured a very full account of the Society's affairs,
Your Directors have but little to communicate on the present oc-
casion.
• It may, however, be satisfactory to these now assembled to learn
that. notwithstanding the increased and active competition arising
from the yearly establishment of many new Life Assurance Offices,
The business of this Society still continues to advance.
In proof of this, it will be sufficient to state the following facts :
I. The number of Policies granted on the lives of Clergymen, a
class of persons generally distinguished for longevity, has been
greater during the year ending June 30th last (the period compre-
hended in this report) than in any one year since the commence-
ment of the Society.
11. The Society's Income, which was 116,3821. in the year ending
June 30th, 1846, ameemted to 122,9061. in the year ending June
30th, 1847.
111. The number of NEW POLICIES issued within the year has
been 513, and the amount assured thereby 287,0791. Being an
increase, both in the number of policies and In the sum assured, over
those of ally preceding year.
In conclusion, the Directors are happy to inform the Proprietors
that the Society has net in any degree suffered frem the great mor-
tality which has prevailed of late throughout the kingdom, the
ms, both in the course of the year ending June 30, 1847, and also
Within the six months ending with December last, not having
tlaalled either In number or amount those of preceding years.
Tables of Rates and For:ns of Proposal can be obtained of any of
the Society's Agents, or by addressing a letter to

approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been
