Synopsis
Excerpt from An Elementary Lecture on the Theory of Life Assurance: Delivered at a Meeting of the Birmingham Insurance Institute, 11th January, 1889
No doubt, as regards its scope, the Lecture is open to the criticism that it attempts at once too much and too little. I hope, however, that it may still be found useful to the class for whom it was more particularly intended, viz., the Branch Managers and other Branch Officials who have but limited time and energy for study, but to whom it is so very important, in discussing Life Assurance daily with the general public, to know something of the theory of their business. To such, even if they do not master the whole, it must surely be useful to have a general inkling of the difficult problems which lie behind most pages of the prospectus, and which need much delicacy in daily treatment if the public are not to be misled.
