gained nearly one.third since the revolution From
the table constructed by DR. Price, the average NOR
taty in London during ten years, ending with 1850,
one inhabitant out of 10 3-5th died annually. MIR.
Milne has shown that In 10 years. eading win loio,
there died annually in London one person In silly.
From all this it is shown that the old tables repre-
sent the duration of lite too unfavorably, or below
the true rate Mr.. Davies and Mr. Naylor both state
the decrease of mortality in England.
The benefits conferred by life assurance have
perhaps been more extensively embraced within
the last fifteen or twenty years than in any former
period but until the year lSil, healthy lives were
alone insured, and, consequently, vast proportion
of applicants rejected by the various offices be-
cause medical science had not so tar progressed,
been so advantageously applied as to enable men
with security to themselves to assure the lives Of
those who were afflicted with either transient or
permanent sickness. This desideratum has al
length been furnished and the "Medical, Invalid,
and General Life Assurance Company" under
competent directory, with an ample capital, nu-
merous body of Shareholders and the superintend-
ence of board composed partly OF medical men
and partly of gentlemen whose experience qualities
them for the task is prepared TO assure lives however
invaded, and throw open the advantages which re-
suit from the employment of kindred institutions TO
persons Of all ages rank and condition, 10 the IN
firm as well as the healthy TO the delicate as well
as 10 the robust This is the only office yet IN exist
ence where persons Of unsound health, or actually
afflicted with acute disease may have their lives IN
sured upon payment, OF course, OF premium COM
mensurate with the fatality OF the peculiar disease
under which they are suffering. And, moreover,
such insurance may be effected for the period only
during which the particular disease generally con-
tinues or for month, year, or any other specific
period which may be named Strange the asser-
ZION may at first appear, 1t is nevertheless true, that
the mortality of unsound lives may be calculated
with far greater accuracy, and with much less de-
Walton from the average, than that OF sound and
healthy lives; a fact which the statistics accu-
muated by this new Assurance Society have estab
shed beyond doubt.
One very interesting fact has been established by
the statistics accumulated by this new Insurance
Society; that is, that in this country the average
mortality is considerably less than in the old world
This is quite contrary the general impression
the subject but the facts has been rrefragibly esa
bshed that, in the United States the influences ad
verse TO human life less powerful than in Europe
We cannot this morning, devote more space to this
subject but we will recur to il, and in
public in general and particularly to those whose
and health may he such as, of them
selves, to attract to it their special regard. II is
really, in every point of view, subject worthy of
careful study.
