Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Life Insurance in the United States to 1870: With an Introduction to Its Development Abroad In the early history Of life insurance four primary stages of development may be distinguished. The first of these may be called the period Of experiment. It extends from the earliest beginnings down to the year 1700. During this time the prac tice Of keeping mortality records originated, and the funda mental laws Of probability were evolved and applied to the valuation of human life. Underwriting was done by indivi duals, and toward the end Of the period some distribution Of risk was accomplished by the insurers, since it became custom ary to accept but a small portion of each one of a number of separate hazards. The second stage may be designated the speculative assessment period.' It extends from 1700 to 1721, and is distinguished by the fact that assessment associations Of a highly speculative nature were formed for effecting life insurance. The third period, from 1721 to 1760, may be termed the era of scientific progress, since it is characterized by the progress made in the science of life contingencies. The fourth and last epoch, from 1760 to 1800, is One in which the advent of modern life insurance occurred. It was during this time that insurance for the whole of life on an annual level premium basis, and with a reserve fund to meet liabilities in creasing with advancing age, was put into practical operation.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of Life Assurance For life assurance is above all things an economic arrangement - the great problem which it has set out to overcome is that of the economic disturbances which the natural uncertainty of life brings in its train. I say natural uncertainty, because that is after all the crucial matter; the kind or even the degree of the dangers which accentuate that natural uncertainty, whether they be the Stiletto or the live electric wire, is, Within limits, unimportant. True it is that a point may be conceived Where these incidental dangers become so great as to put life assurance out of the question, but it is not certain that if the perils of life in general were augmented by fifty per cent. To morrow the extent of the practice would be materially affected. If then what is really In question is a remedy for a matter which has ever been before men's eyes, how is it that the discovery of that remedy has been so long delayed? Or has the need been met in earlier times in some different manner? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
