     Summary

Author have tried to bring up to date all that was presented in “Adjustment of Fire Losses,” and in addition, to cover accepted practice in handling losses caused by perils other than fire. Ocean-marine losses are not considered. The maritime world is controlled by international rather than American conditions and will probably continue to go its own way. Except for the chapter on Principles, this book, like its predecessor, is a manual on how the adjuster should proceed according to the terms of the contract of insurance, how he should treat with policyholders and producers, and how he should handle the various problems presented by the property or other subject matter of the insurance and by the circumstances attending the individual loss and claim. Simple situation ordinarily encountered by the novice are first discussed, then the complications most frequently encountered, and finally the difficulties that tax the abilities of veterans.
