DENT INSTITUTION was held at Edinburgh ,,, 
Wednesday, Feb. 15: 
JOHN AULD, Esq., Writer to her Majesty’* Signet 
the Senior Director, in the chair. 
REPORT BY THE DIRECTORS. 
The Directors have the satisfaction of submitting a 
very favourable report of the business for the jear 
ending 31st December, 1853. 
Tho new proposals accepted have been 710 in num. 
ber, assuring 809,393/ 1*. witli yearly prennumv 
amounting to 8,038/. 12*. 5 d. A further sum of 
10,729 /. 2s. 8 d. has also been received for new Assuruncei 
by single payment; und several Annuities, Immediate, 
deferred, and contingent, have been contracted fur. 
The tolul premiums received in the year have been 
74.S67/. 16*. Srf. 
The claims against the Instilulion on occount of 
emerged policies hove been very moderate, the amount, 
Including additions declared at the recent investigation, 
being 23,526 /. 6*. 
At the close of the year, there bad been bailed in al| 
0,602 policies, assuring 2,880,821/. Tho umount re- 
main Ing assured (exclusive of Annuities) was 2,316, 672/. 
The Realised Fund, 11 rising entirely from ucciimuluU-il 
premiums, was 305,134/., being 011 Increase of upward! 
of 50,000/. within the year. 
The report of the investigation of the nffairs of tlie 
Society which w s submitted to last general meeting, 
and the working of its distinctive principle, as slumn 
in the first division of profils, it is gratifying to be 
able to slate, have been received Willi entire satisfac- 
tion by the general body of tho contributors. 
The Directors continue to be guided in the adminis- 
tration by the rules on which they have hitherto acted 
— of avoiding, on the one hand, objectionable methods 
of increasing the business, such us puying the law 
agents of applicants for assurance, und others who 
linve no legitimate clniin on the Society— und, on the 
other, of muking the provision* o* available and secure 
to the representatives of Hie member* as prudence will 
admit. They have found good reason 10 approve of 
the 6tep in Ibis direction taken by this Institution live 
year* ugo, when the conditions of forlel'ure were re- 
stricted to the case of fraud and wilful misstatement. 
And the resolution of the itnnuul meeting of Februaiy, 
1852, adopted in concert with oilier offices, 10 relieve 
from restrictions on travel and foreign residence holder* 
of polichs who, by 11 certain form of probation, shall 
have shown themselves to be unlikely to entail risk un 
the Society, lias been a further boon to the members, 
by enhancing the security and marketable value 0 / 
their policies. 
By perseverance in the course now indicated, while 
no principle lias been abandoned, and no concession 
mude either to disarm opposition or to will populurity, 
the amount of substantial business has been constant!! 
on the Increase, und that not by sudden and alternsie 
rise and full, but by that gradual and steady advanc- 
ment which is the best presage of permanent pro- 
sperity. And in this course tbu Directors will perse- 
vere. 
The progress of the London Branch continues to I* 
in all respeci* satisfactory, and the Directon ure able 
to report that they have had the good fortune to secure 
premises In one of the most central situations In O'* 
C.ty, in which they will have greatly superior accom- 
modation, without, as they have reusuu to believe, in- 
creased expense. 
A detailed Statement of the Accumulated Fund, 
and of the Income and Expenditure during the y 
was annexed, in terms of Art. 28 of the Laws.
