Excerpt — Remarks made by PETER HARDY, Esq., Actuary, at Annual
Meeting, held 18tli May, 1857,
He (Mr. Hardy) assured the Meeting that, during his experience of twenty-eight years, he had met with
nothing in the history of Life Offices comparable to the success of that Institution. When he saw that the
working expenses were only 7j per cent, while some other Institutions were very much higher, he would
venture to predict that the United Kingdom Provident Institdtion would become one of the most
flourishing Offices in the Kingdom.
The uniform promptitude observed by this Institution in the settlement of claims, it being the desire of the
Directors to relieve parties from unnecessary trouble or delay, together with the moderate and safe rate of
premiums, and the steadily increasing business of the Society, offer to intending Assurers every advantage
that Life Assurance is capable of affording.
During the last two years nearly Five Thousand New Members have joined the Society.
N. B. — The Temperance and Public Sections are kept in separate classes, and will each receive their own
profits.
Prospectuses, also copies of the Eighteenth Annual Report, and every information, may be had at the
Chief Offices, or of the numerous Agencies throughout the Kingdom.
