To the PROPRIETORS of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE
GENTLEMEI.I,—In calling your attention to the annexed Notice of
the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, I beg leave to
address a few observations to you relative to the past transactions,
and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of
the Company.
That the "Britannia Company has enjoyed the decided and (I
trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the public,
Is clearly proved by the unprecedented fact of upwards of 6,000
1840 ; the
policies having been issued in the short space of eight years. In '
order, however, to show the high degree of credit and influence pos-
sessed by the Company, it is only necessary for me to state, that two
highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Companies
took place in the year
have successively transferred their business to this establishment.
latter in
It is in consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included
a large number of Policies effected on the mutual assurance plan, and
also in consequence of the numerous
compelapplicaions for Assurances on
this plan, which they have hitherto been led to decline, that

Thei general objection to Mutual A
infamy, at least) they do not afford that complete security to the
Assured which is supplied by the subscribed capital of Proprietary
Establishments, is completely removed in the Mutual Branch of the
"Britt nnia" Company ; for not only are the Mutual Policy-holders
protected by the entire subscribeAl capital of the Proprietary Branch„
but the large and continually -increasing fund, accumulated from the
Prem toms on 6,000 Policies already effected in that Branch, consti-
tutes an immediately available Amd for the paymeat of the claims of
the A ssured, who will thus enjoy all the seemit
y afforded by an old
established office, and, at the same time, become entitled to all the
benef,its to be derived from that system of Mutual Assurance which
experience has proved to Be at the same time the safest and the best.
Ano tier serious objection to the Mutual
re Assurance Plan (as gene-
rally a cos on) is the high rate of premiumrequired to be paid, in
the &111, instance, in order to form a fund—not only for the payment
of the criaims, but also for the distribution of large bonuses among the
policy-holders. This objection also is entirely removed by means of
the her credit system detailed in the prospectus. For, by allowing

aailirt c myself of this opportunity of congratulating my co-
shareholders on the extraordinary success which hitherto has at-
tended the operations of the Britannia Life Assurance Company, I
trust I shall, at
very distant period, have still ftirther to congratu-
late them on tiff complete success of the Mutual Assurance Branch,
which, after Off most anxious care and attention, has been founded
on a plan ealcoulitted, in every possible way, to benefit and accommo-
date the public.
I cannot, in justice to the Directors, conclude this address without
calling your attention to the able and cordial co-operation which has
been afforded to ;tie on their part, not only on the present important
occasion, but alai , in every other instance in which their advice and
assistance have bow needful for promoting the interests of the Insti-
tution. , I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, .
Your most obedient servant
