Extract

It would be a very useful and interesting task to examine the numerous mortality experiences which have been publisht of late years; to compare them carefully with each other, so as to see how far they agree and in what respects they differ; and to note what contributions (if any) they have made to the general theory of life insurance. On the present occasion I will state the results of my examination of the recently publisht experience of the abovementioned company. The experience extends over 20 years, and contains 124,526 policy-years, the numbers at risk ranging from 301·5 policies in the year 1866 to 13,927 in the year 1885.
