being taken for that purpose. In anticipating a successful career for the it is only necessary to pre- New Company, it is sant to the public the results of the Old Company since its establishment in May
1860, as exbibited by the following #gures
The total premiums collected
from the Uth May 1800 to
the present time, a period
of only two years and five
months, amount to $804,721.72
The losses which have been
paid within the same period have amounted to
-$130,081.22
and include the largo sumi of $85,270 lost by the Fire
at Hongkong in Nov. 1867.
The amount now at the Credit
of the Working Account,
after paying all: Expenses and Ro-insurances to date, exceeds,
$1
..$160,000,00
These figures fully warrant the most sauguine expectations of success, and it is but reasonable to expect that, strengthened with larger Capital, the present undertaking cannot fail to prove at least as successful sa the former one. The Old Company, when
it entered the field, had to create a business for itself, but the New one, in taking over the outstanding risks and con- nections of the Old Company, will at once receive a very large amonat of premium, and ontar on a profitable and organised business. Moreover, there is no soubt that the risk of Fire in Hongkong has been greatly diminished by the Building Regula Lions now in force, and by the establishment. of a Fire Brigade.

The descriptions of Nagasaki, Yedo, To- kohane, and the other Treaty Ports of Japan, are as elaborate and entertaining મહ those of the Chinese ports. A copious in- dex and a useful appendix coutaining many hints and much appropriate advice to tra vellers and others, is also included in the volume.
