it to a position of the first im-.Lgnitude among the

LIFE BRANCH.
L''The Reports of the Company veral years have had
Vtviariably to announce a constant periodical expansion of its
i; Business, the New Policies of each succeeding year show-
an advance over the one that had immediately preceded
4E. A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums
ca„ New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be ng £15,097
0,10 d., which is an increase on that item of £1,993175. sd.
above the amount received for the year 1859.
thd"But even this advance is small when compared with the
en and remarkable momentum which has been given to
ranch of the Business in the present year (1861).
I,eNvas not until the commencement of the year that the
seemed to have become fully acquainted with the fact
ff;`,' Me Royal Insurance Company had published late in the
ti.,'3..ar an account of the investigation into the Assets and
,14Thties of its Life Department, under a novel form, and in
aig.tain and intelligible a manner as the abstruseness of the
Vaigetti admitted, together with the entire statements and
It
ions necessary for that purpose.
fildst 's conjectured from the extensive Notices of this Pam-
II tt,,,a,nd its accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared
ititiZieriodicals of the day, that it has largely attracted the
liin",yon of vast numbers of 'Persons in all parts of the United
alosi"01n, as well as in other parts of the World.
.Indeed a
8 afr satisfactory and conclusive evidence that such is pas
ti°l'ded by the fact that the sum Assured on New Policies
llallvee months to the 3d .Tune of the present year is ac-
acri,": Per cent. in excess of the sum assured in the corres-
Months of the year 1860, although the latter amount
