:See with those of their Predecessors, during a period of more than
a hundred Years, the System of Underwriting has been fostered and
nitprove.'• beyond that of any other Country, if Juint Stock Compa-
nits Or Partnerships be now authorised to effect Marine Insurances.

S:otk Companies for the purpose of effecting that which can and
ts been done advantageously by individuals, would be to create so
:r.aly monopolies in different branches of commerce, bean infringe-
rent of the general rights of the Public, operate as an injurious re-
si:aint upon individual exertion and competition, and destructive of
tyar system which has produced 54 much benefit to the commercial
world in general.
