Book Description

Excerpt from The Insurance Year Book, 1882-83 The preliminary chapter on Insurance, detailing its origin and progress, is inserted more for the information of our numerous patrons who are not underwriters, and young men just entering the business, than for veteran underwriters. The circulation of the year book has increased so much with the last few editions, that it is now found almost as frequently on the desks of merchants and business men as in the hands of underwriters. To this class, a brief history of Insurance, and some account of its aims and objects, will, doubtless, prove desirable. A large amount of matter of a miscellaneous character will be found in this volume. This relates generally to the financial, industrial and agri cultural resources of our common country, and embraces information that every American should possess. It is invaluable to business men, and, as all underwriters are business men, many of them engaged in other occupa tions in addition to selling Insurance, they cannot fail to appreciate this portion of the year book.
