When the Directors state that the new busines of the year
1855, is understood to exceed that of any other Life Office in
Great Britain during the same period, it is scarcely necessary
for them to make any further o'seryation in evidence of the
Company's continued success, and its position in public esti-
mation ; but as the progress of one year, which might be the
result of a sudden effort, is less satisfactory than the result
of a continuous course of exertion showing gradual and
steady improvement, the Directors beg attention to the de•
yelopment of the business during the ten years from 1845 to
1855, that is, from the 20th to the 30th year of the Com•
pany's exi4ence.

Raving thus brought before the meeting the results of the
past year, and of the two quinquennial periods, closed at the
date of balance, the Directors defer any further remarks on
• the Company's position and prospects till they have the
pleasure of meeting again iu a few weeks, to report the result
of the investigation of the Company's affairs, as at 15th
November, 1855, now in progress; and they trust they will
then be able to show that the business transacted during the
Last fire years has been profitab'e as well as extensive. Tho
• calculations are far advanced, and a Special Committee has
been appointed to examine the securities and to bring up a
report on the whole matter, after a thorough investigation of
the Company's assets and liabilities.
