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.

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 The Story of Life Assurance I find it extremely fascinating. Sir Walter Besant advised authors to acquire a special knowledge of one subject, and write on that subject. That's what I did nearly 20 years ago, and I have been writing about Life Assurance ever since. In fact, I have had neither time nor desire to write upon any other subject for I regard Life Assurance as the greatest movement in the world for uplifting humanity. I have written some thousands of articles about it, and many books for the benefit of Agency workers - for the men who secure the business. But I have long cherished an idea of writing a popular account of Life Assurance, and for many months I have been engaged in the intervals of a harassing editorial life in trying to put my idea into practice. The Story of Life Assurance is not a large book, but large enough for the average man to digest. A famous author was once asked to write a biography of Napoleon in 36 pages for an encyclopedia. Thirty-six pages he exclaimed, the thing is impossible give me 36 volumes 1 The same difficulty confronts the man who would write a history of Life Assurance. Mine is not a history, but it traces the rise and progress of Life Assurance, and describes its advantages in a style more fascinating than a novel, and certainly more useful There are no diagrams in it, or mathematical formulae. The Story is a book, not for a day, but for all time. Whoever picks it up will, I venture to think, read it through from beginning to end.

They have thus dis placed the United States from the world leadership in life insurance which it formerly held, and have made what was one of our greatest claims to national dis tinction the cause of what is, in many ways, our most shameful national scandal.

Book Description
Excerpt from Assessment Life Insurance: A Treatise Showing the Origin, Development and Condition of the Assessment System of Life Insurance Life insurance on the assessment plan has reached such proportions in the volume of business transacted and the benefits annually conferred that it well deserves the study of both insurance men and sociologists. The plans and problems presented by assessment societies are so various as to involve much greater complexity and consequently greater difficulties than the comparatively uniform plans and practices of the regular companies. In the past this subject has been largely neglected by actuaries, though within a comparatively recent period some of them have taken it up and are now doing yeoman work in this field. But commonly the attitude of actuaries toward the systems has been more or less contemptuous; they have ignored its merits and sometimes exaggerated its demerits. This is unfortunate both for the associations and for the actuaries; for the associations, which have sorely needed actuarial guidance, and for the actuaries, since it has operated to narrow their field and their opportunities for earning a livelihood at useful labor. In fact, the scope of actuarial science needs to be extended in this country to correspond with its scope in other countries. The history of assessmentism in America is one of reaction and subsequent evolution - of reaction against the hard and fast lines of legal reserve insurance and its illiberal surrender charges, and of evolution from simple but exceedingly erroneous and dangerous plans to highly specialized and approximately accurate plans.
