Excerpt from The Elements of Insurance: A Guide to the Principles and Practice of Accident, Fire, Marine, and Life Insurance
This little book is in no sense intended for the use of insurance experts.
It has been the aim of the Author to give in as concise a manner as possible sufficient information to enable the young student to obtain a useful knowledge of the chief branches of insurance, and the principles and practice upon which it is based and conducted. To this end the work has been written in a light and non - technical style.
Those desirous of extending their knowledge of the subject dealt with, by a study of more advanced works, will find at the end of the present book a list of works by well-known authors; from many of them the author has personally received much help, which he here gratefully acknowledges.
In the treatment of such wide subjects as Fire, Life, Marine, and Accident Insurance, in a limited work of this kind, it will be readily understood that it has only been possible to touch upon the main outstanding features.
The necessity for such a primer as this was experienced by the Author himself very early in his insurance career, so that when the opportunity presented itself of producing a book that would help those desirous of obtaining information upon the subject, he willingly acquiesced in the suggestion that he should prepare it.
