THE HE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY was established at Edinburgh in 1825. The Acts of Parliament, 2 & 3 Gul. IV. cap. 81, and 8 & 9 Vict., cap. 75, have been granted for the purpose of its constitution and for the regulation of its affairs. It has been conducted with much success, and that result may be attributed not only to the extensive and influential connexions of the Company, but more particularly to the liberality of its dealings, and to the constant attention paid by the Directors to the adoption of improvements and facilities in connexion with the contract of Life Assurance.
