Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Tables and Formulæ for the Computation of Life Contingencies; With Copious Examples of Annuity, Assurance, and Friendly Society Calculations: Second Issue, With an Addendum, Comprising a Large Extension of the Principal Table

Chapter VII. Is occupied with the subject of Commutation Tables. The leading properties of these tables are laid down, and methods for their formation, for both single and joint lives,1' are explained and exemplified, which it is believed will be found more certain and efficient than any heretofore proposed. The Postscript contains two additional methods, which suggested themselves since the chapter was completed.

Chapter VIII. Contains some details in reference to the history of the Commutation Method of computation; and an attempt is made to vindicate Mr. Barrett's claim to the invention of that method, of which it has been recently sought to deprive him.
