For those who already possess this elementary knowledge, there are many excellent hand-books which carry the discussion much further, and cover the entire subject in the ablest and most satisfactory manner. But as an introduction to these, a beginning, an easy lesson, it is hoped that the following pages will have their use. They owe their existence to the impossibility of findmg among the text-books already published anything which seemed exactly adapted to this purpose. C. E. W. New York, November i, 1888.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book makes the fundamental, elementary principles of life insurance easy to understand by explaining the complexities of this sector by comparing it to a familiar concept - insurance. The author uses a simple example for an in-depth study of three elementary insurance principles, before going on to explain mortality tables, net premiums, endowment policies, reserves, and dividends. Their practical application to various contingencies may, and often does, involve mathematical calculations which are not only very lengthy but also very intricate. However, the author has avoided mathematical complexity, ensuring that the discussion is accessible to anyone unfamiliar with the technicalities of insurance but interested in gaining insight into its foundational principles and practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
