Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses to the Board of Directors of the Home Insurance Company: Delivered at the Anniversaries Celebrating the Completion of the First and Second Ten Years of the History of the Company, With Statistical Tables Showing the Progress of the Company From 1853 to 1873 Responding, as I now purpose to do, to your request embodied in the resolution adopted at a meeting of the Board held a few days since, for its annual organization and election of Officers for the current year, it seems proper to express the gratification which this desire for a review of the first ten years of the history of the Company afforded me, for the reason that it but anticipated a project which had been maturing in my own mind for some time previous, and which had already been partially moulded into shape and form, and also furnished a further evidence of the lively ia terest which the Directors of this institution have ever taken in its affairs, more especially as it followed so immediately upon the renewed expression they had just given of their confidence in, and of their liberal appreciation of the labors of, the executive officers. The history of Fire Insurance in the City of new-york during the past thirty years possesses some points of interest, a brief review of which, by one who (with the exception of a comparatively short interval) has been connected with this branch of business during the period named, may prove a suitable introduction to the main object of this paper, a por tion of which will of necessity be but a repetition of some of the facts presented in the very able and interesting report by the Chairman of the Executive Committee on a recent occasion.
