As it is one of the main objects of the ‘Assurance Magazine’ to collect and preserve such facts as may hereafter, when further information is obtained, prove useful in drawing general conclusions as to the value of risks of various kinds, either affecting life or property, we gladly avail ourselves of the kind permission of Mr. John Young, a member of the Underwriters' Room, Lloyd's, London, to make use of a list prepared by him of the casualties and wrecks which have been officially reported to have occurred between London and Dungeness.
