LIFE ASSURANCE.
The great extension of trade and commerce, and the benefits found to have been de-

subject has attracted from all classes of society of late years, and have necessarily enforced
a liberal adaptation of its principles to meet more enlightened and comprehensive views
on the subject, and to facilitate accommodations intimately and legitimately connected

honourably and safely carried out by Assurance Companies, is afforded to Assurers in this
Office.
