THE EISE OF LLOYDS
STORY OF THE FAMOUS ENGLISH IN
SURANCE CONCERN
Started Orlffinnlly In n London Coflw
Ilouse For Marine IiiMurance It Will
Now Accept RIhIsh Ajrninst Almot
Anything Under the Sun
Llodys is a name known in every
comer of the globe But there are
probably few outside the shipping trado
who if asked What is Lloyds could
give an intelligent answer to the ques
tion
Lloyds was originally a coffee houso
in Tower street London kept by a
very enterprising and wide awake man
whose establishment was much fre
quented by merchants engaged in the
shipping and underwriting trade Ma
rine insurance had been first introduc
ed into England by the Hause mer
phmits and bv the Lombards who en
joyed for a considerable time a prac 1
tical monopoly thereof Queen Eliza
beth nut a stop to this however At
the time of her war with Spain she or
dered ail foreign traders to quit her
dominions and not long afterward
caused Sir Thomas Gresham to devise
an act sanctioned by parliament es
tablishing marine insurance on a legal
basis this being the first mention there
of in the statute book of England The
merchants and brokers engaged in this
branch of commerce used to meet in
the various coffee houses of the city
and by the end of the seventeenth cen
tury Edward Lloyds establishment
had become their favorite trysting
place In 1GSS his name appears in the
London Gazette in connection with an
advertisement offering a reward for
any one giving information to Mr Ed
ward Lloyd at his coffee house in Tow
er street as to the whereabouts of a
man who was wanted on a charge of
theft
By 1G92 his business had prospered
to such an extent that he moved to
the corner of Lombard street and Ab
church lane all his customers follow
ing him while in 169G he went so far
as to produce a news sheet called
Lloyds News containing all sorts of
information particularly relating to
shipping calculated to be of interest
to the people who gathered each day
at noon at his coffee house Unfor
tunately the seventy seventh number
of his paper which he issued three
times a week contained a paragraph
condemning certain proceedings in the
house of lords relating to shipping and
the result was that he was arrested
summoned to the bar of the house
fined and compelled to abandon the
publication for a time In 1721 how
ever it was resumed under the title of
Lloyds List and has appeared uninter
ruptedly from that time until the pres
ent day being with the exception of
the official London Gazette the oldest
English newspaper in existence
The next half century saw the grad
ual crystallization of the Society of
Underwriters and Merchants which
had its headquarters in Lloyds coffee
house into a clearly defined corpora
tion Lombard street was left for
Popes alley in 1770 whence four years
later Lloyds moved to the Royal Ex
change where it has ever since had its
home This step was immediately fol
lowed by an immense expansion of in
surance business due in a measure to
the succession of wars in which Eng
land was at that time Involved Not
merely ships of the English mercantile
navy but also men-of-war and even
merchantmen belonging to the enemy
were all insured at Lloyds If the
risks were great the premiums were
high and the scrupulous care with
which Lloyds always punctually ful
filled its obligations its triumphal is
sue from the ordeals of several par
liamentary inquiries and above all the
active role which it assumed in nation
al and patriotic movements all con
tributed to establish its hold upon the
good will of the people
Thus It was Lloyds which first initi
ated that lifeboat service which has
been adopted by every civilized coun
try in the world boasting of a sea
board and it was Lloyds name that
figured for 10000 at the head of the
subscription list for the building of the
first lifeboat ever launched Indeed
for a quarter of a century the entire
lifeboat service of the United Kingdom
was maintained by Lloyds until It
was taken over by the National Life
boat institution Again it was Lloyds
which originated with a subscription
of 100000 in 1803 that patriotic fund
which is still in existence and which
has provided for the welfare of the
widows and orphans of those who have
lost their lives in the naval or mili
tary service of their country besides
caring for men who have wrecked their
health or who have been crippled while
fighting Englands battles
In 1871 Queen Victoria affixed her
sign manual to an act of parliament
providing for the organization of
Lloyds In its present form It com
prises about GOO underwriting and
about 200 nonunderwritlng members
besides about 500 annual subscribers
The underwriters pay an entrance fee
and an annual subscription and to
place their credit beyond a doubt they
are required to deposit as a minimum
25000 security with the committee
Membership of Lloyds is most jealous
ly guarded Candidates must come be
fore the committee with the written
recommendation of six members and
prepared to answer all questions of
whatever kind put to them The elec
tion takes place by ballot and for
seven days previous to its occurrence
the name of the would be member
must have been posted In the so called
chamber of horrors The object of
the corporation as proclaimed by the
1S71 act of parliament is first the
carrying on of the business of marine
Insurance by the members of the so
ciety second the protection of the In
terests of members of the society In
MjiiMAfiiUiniiTrtiP

respect to shipping cargoes and freight
and third the collection publication
and diffusion of intelligence and in
formation with respect to shipping
It is especially for this latter under
taking that Lloyds Is admirably equip
ped It has thousands of agents
spread over the seaports In every
quarter of the globe who are In con
stant communication with the office
In London which day and night
throughout the year is open for the
reception of news Appointed by the
committee carefully chosen for their
trustworthiness these agents dispatch
every item of Information of interest
to the shipping community to Lloyds
by the quickest possible route tele
graphic or otherwise The arrivals and
departures of vessels from the various
ports the fact that they have been sig
naled at sea the occurrence of wrecks
and casualties are known at Lloyds
within an incredibly short time a
shipwreck being often announced
within fifteen minutes of its happen
ing while prior to the establishment
of telegraphs the government was j
largely dependent upon Lloyds for
early news as to what was going on in
the various parts of the world All
this intelligence thus gathered and re
ceived is at once embodied for refer
ence in the Index a gigantic com
pilation comprised In twelve folios aud
kept for consultation in the reading
room Thanks to the Index an under
writer can learn by a search which is
only a matter of moments where and
in what condition is every vessel In
the British mercantile marine and a
great number of foreign ships Indeed
the movements of some 100000 craft
are chronicled in these volumes from
hour to hour by a large staff Side by
side with the Index is Lloyds Cap
tains Register a biographical dic
tionary of all certificated masters of
the merchant service containing every
detail of their careers since the time
they received their certificates By or
der of the government all information
that reaches tire state registrar gen
eral of shipping aud seamen is at once
furnished to Lloyds so that the dic
tionary in whicli over 70000 pages
are posted up in the course of the year
is as complete and as perfect as un
ceasing revision can make it I may
add that there are about 40000 certifi
cated masters of the British mercan
tile marine
In classifying and registering ships
Lloyds uses various marks and signs
Thus ships in the first class are noted
by the distinctive marks A 1 But if
the ship is set down as A 1 at Lloyds
it means that the vessel is not in good
order and not a satisfactory risk
Therefore the addition of the words at
Lloyds is a stigma of inferiority and
ma- be taken as an indication that
fur or information of a detrimental
character will be furnished regarding
the hip in question at Lloyds It
would require too much space to give
in detail here the meaning of the vari
ous letters and abbreviations used by
Lloyds to designate the rating of the
ship without exposing themselves to
legal action by the owners but I may
merely mention that the addition of a
Maltese cross signifies that the vessel
has been built under special survey
and is therefore a particularly safe
risk
On the ground floor in a special room
is installed an inquiry office at which
the friends and relatives of those that
go down to the sea in ships can learn
without charge whatever is known at
Lloyds of the whereabouts and safety
of the vessels which carry their hus
bands their brothers their sons or
their lovers Close by is the chamber
of horrors where the telegrams giv
ing details of all disasters are posted
up whence the name of the room
Although primarily organized with a
view to marine insurance Lloyds ex
tends its operations to all sorts of other
risks Indeed it will underwrite al
most anything It will Insure against
burglary against its raining on a cer
tain day In fact a mere enumera
tion of the most curious risks would
be a wearying task When insurance is
effected at Lloyds the procedure Is dif
ferent from that of an ordinary Insur
ance company for Lloyds does not
Insure as a body the business being
done by individual members These
members split up the risk Each takes
a small portion only thus insuring sta
bility by the extension and consequent
curtailment of the risk as far as each
individual is concerned The names of
these members are indorsed on the
policy together with the amount of
risk undertaken They are written on
the policy one under the other hence
the term of underwriter New York
Tribune
The Ineoldshy Leprends
The author of The Ingoldsby Leg
ends was Richard Harris Barham a
clergyman of the Church of England
who was born in 1788 and died in 1845
He was entered at St Pauls school
London and while there formed a
friendship with Mr Bentley his con
nection with whom In after life was
the means of giving to the world
through Bentleys Miscellany the
mirthful and marvelous Legends on
which their authors fame securely
rests In 1S21 he was elected to a mi
nor canonry in St Pauls which was
the turning point in his literary life as
it occasioned him to reside in London
In 1S37 Mr Bentley brought out his
Miscellany In which Mr Barham
began the Legends under the nom de
plume of Ingoldsby His Incognito
could not be long preserved and he
was soon hailed by his assumed name
In literary circles as often as by his
own The flexibility of the English
tongue was never displayed to greater
perfection than in these mirthful pro
ductions But Mr Barham was not
without higher poetical qualities The
last lines he composed As I lay
a thynkynge are exquisitely beauti
