Summary |
This volume is an exposition of the principles and practices of the more important forms of insurance. An effort has been made to prevent practices from obscuring principles: on the other hand, sufficient illustrations and forms have been included to vivify and emphasize the principles, discussed. In brief, an attempt has been made to write a “practical” book which will serve equally well as a textbook for commercial education in universities and schools of business and as a guide to the business man in insurance transactions.
Section One is an effort to coordinate those features of insurance which are common to all it branches.
Section Two deals with personal insurance, which everyone at least once in his life finds occasion to purchase, and particular emphasis has been placed upon the buyer’s viewpoint.
Section Three describes a form of protection which is of interest to every employer and employee-compensation insurance.
Section Four is concerned with fire insurance, the necessity of which is so well known that no recognition of it in this preface is necessary.
Section Five, on marine insurance, has not been changed much from its original form.
Section Six explains the principal features of title insurance, corporate bonding, automobile insurance and credit insurance. The latter two chapters have been entirely rewritten, there having been radical changes in the nature of the business since the first edition of this book.
