In comparing theso sums with the amounts for tlio precc-diiifc year , they exlxibit an increase of 17 in the number of Now Policies , and of about COOfli . in the Sums Assured . Tho increase , thougli of luoderato amQunt , must be considered satisfactory , especially when regard is had to tho great competition which now exists in tho business 0 f Life Assurance . Tho number of Policies lapsed by death is four und » r that of last year , and the amount payable nearly 7 O 00 L less . Keeping in view the additions made to the business , and the increased nge of the Members of tho Society , thesoare most gratifying circumstances .

" These portraits of what the author terms the ' Governing-Classes of Great Britain' are republishcd from the .

" These lively sketches of living political characters are many of them admirably written , always satirical in spirit and occasionally far-seeing in their ken . There are points which Thackeray could hardly have done better . "— JSra , " The antlror of this booi has distinguished vhimseh * byinventing , if we may so speak , quite a new style of newspaper-comment on Parliam cm ary men arid proceedings . If we are iiotgreatly mistaken , Mr . Whitty ' s name will yet be a conspicuous one in the world of journalism . The main notion of the work is that Great Britain is under a mistake in considering itself a self-governed country . Mr . Whitty seems to have no political preferences . We know no political writing of tho day showing a hardor head , a more ruthless frankness , than Mr . Whitty ' s . Add to this a groafc fund ol political knowledge and , a power of witty expressiou .
