Présentation de l'éditeur
Numerous works on the subject of Life Insurance have appeared in recent years in A merica, but in this country the valuable work of Mr. Bunyon, the first English writer of importance on the subject, still stands practically alone. The long period that has elapsed since the last edition of his work, the voluminous legislation of 1870-1872, the numerous cases decided during the last fifteen years, and the growing importance of the subject, would seem a sufficient justification for other labours in the same field. The chapter on Accident I nsurance, a branch of insurance which is rapidly developing, will, it is hoped, be found useful. Besides the English decisions, the principal American cases on the same subject are there collected. In addition to the-work of his predecessor Mr. Bunyon, the writer has had the advantage of consulting the American works of Mr. Bliss on Life I nsurance, the 2nd edition of which was published in 1874, and of Mr. May on I nsurance, the 2nd edition of which was published at the beginning of the present year. Strictly speaking, no doubt, life is assured, while property is insured, but considering the popular use of the term life insurance, a distinction of so little practical moment did not seem worth preserving.
