When the Directors state that the new busines of the year
4855, is understood to exceed that ot' any other Life 01Thie in
Cheat Britain during the same period, it is scarcely necessary
for them to make any further cO:servation in evidence of the
Company's continued success, and its position in public esti-
/nation ; but as the progress of one year, which might bo the
iexult 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-
Zelapruent of the business during the ten years from 1845 to
'855, that is, from the 20th to the 30th year of the Com-
l*DY's existence.
