Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Insurance Guide and Hand Book: Being a Guide to the Principles and Practice of Life Assurance and a Hand Book of the Best Authorities on the Science by the Late Cornelius Walford, Third Edition
The earlier editions of the guide were, it may be remembered, dedicated especially to Insurance Agents. This fact the present Editor, in the course of his revision, has not overlooked. On the contrary, it has been one of his main objects to place before this section of his readers, in a popular manner, the leading principles upon which Life Assurance, as regards both its Theory and Practice, should be based. For those, too, - whether students or fully-qualified actuaries - who desire to form a closer acquaintance with these principles, he may express the hope that such chapters as those on the various Mortality Tables - which he has made as complete as possible - on the Comparative Risks of Occupation, on the Rise and Progress of Industrial Assurance, and on Life Assurance in the United States and the Colonies, will be considered both serviceable and instructive. The guide, however, should not be regarded as in any sense a text-book, but merely as a supplement to those far more erudite works which, under the superintendence of the Institute of Actuaries, have been compiled with the object of assisting students in their examinations.

Excerpt from The Insurance Guide and Hand Book: Being a Guide to the Principles and Practice of Life Assurance and a Hand Book of the Best Authorities on the Science by the Late Cornelius Walford, Third Edition
In undertaking, at the request of the Publishers, to revise such a classical work as Walford's Insurance Guide And Hand-Book, the present Editor could not but recognize that his task was surrounded by peculiar difficulties - difficulties which, as the revision went on, seemed to become almost insuperable. The long interval - close upon one-third of a century - which had elapsed since the Second Edition was published, and during which so many important changes had taken place both as regards Actuarial Science and in the general practice of Life Offices, made it imperative for the bulk of the Guide to be entirely re-written. Again, as a result of the adoption of this course, the Editor felt that he must not expect to present to his readers the various subjects treated in the Work in as graphic and attractive language as flowed from the pen of the late Mr. Walford in the earlier Editions. He has also found it impossible, in the limited space at his command, to do adequate justice to the wide and ever-expanding scope which is now covered by the various topics affecting the Theory and Practice of Life Assurance.
Notwithstanding these difficulties, however, the Editor must confess to having found his task an agreeable and interesting one, since it has necessitated his consulting a very large number of authorities bearing either directly or indirectly upon the particular aspects of his subject, and thus ascertaining the matured - and occasionally, it may be added, the divergent - opinions of the leaders, both past and present, of the profession to which he has the honour to belong. The results of his researches he has embodied in different parts of the Work, in which are given a considerable number of quotations from and references to such authorities. These, it will be noticed, are for the most part extracted from that mine of information on all points relating to Life Contingencies, the Journal of the Institute of Actuaries - referred to as "J.I. A." in the foot-notes.
