The Doctrine of Life-Annuities and Assurances: Analytically Investigated and Practically Explained, Together With Several Useful Tables Connected With the Subject (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Doctrine of Life-Annuities and Assurances: Analytically Investigated and Practically Explained, Together With Several Useful Tables Connected With the Subject
Chapter XIV. Of the original work, containing an account of the London offices in the Author's time, as well as the Appendix, show; ing a new method for calculating annuities, have likewise been omitted. The former has no direct bearing on the science of Life probabilities in general; but may be regarded as a mere criticism on the tables of the offices then in existence, while the latter is now surpassed by more simple processes, by means of the D and N columns, as explained by the Editor in 37-50. It was for the same reason that the corresponding sections of the original work have been substituted by those of the Editor.
The animadversions and criticisms directed by the Author against a contemporary of his, the late Mr. Morgan, Actuary to the Equit able Society, might equally have been dropt. But on reconsidera tion they were suffered to remain, as they afford the student a good opportunity of investigating the several respective questions to advantage; though the style of reasoning might certainly have been less personal.
