Summary |
The Revised Edition represents so through a rewriting and reorganization that it is close to being an entirely new book. The author made a commitment in the Preface to the original edition when the quoted as follows from another Preface-the one Cornelius Walford wrote for the first volume of his Cyclopaedia: “I shall endeavor to avail myself of all rational criticism in the final preparation of future numbers.” In fulfillment of this promise, close attention has been paid to the criticisms and comments of users of the text and to the advice of executives of life insurance companies.
