Excerpt from An Elementary Lecture on the Theory of Life Assurance: Delivered at a Meeting of the Birmingham Insurance Institute, 11th January, 1889
No doubt, as regards its scope, the Lecture is open to the criticism that it attempts at once too much and too little. I hope, however, that it may still be found useful to the class for whom it was more particularly intended, viz., the Branch Managers and other Branch Officials who have but limited time and energy for study, but to whom it is so very important, in discussing Life Assurance daily with the general public, to know something of the theory of their business. To such, even if they do not master the whole, it must surely be useful to have a general inkling of the difficult problems which lie behind most pages of the prospectus, and which need much delicacy in daily treatment if the public are not to be misled.

Excerpt from An Elementary Lecture on the Theory of Life Assurance: Delivered at a Meeting of the Birmingham Insurance Institute, 11th January, 1889
This Lecture was prepared, by special request, for the Birmingham Insurance Institute shortly after its formation. That Institute is, I think, nth the exception of the Manchester Society, the oldest of the now numerous provincial institutes. If the many interesting addresses which have since been given in the provinces had been then in existence, I should never have thought of giving this Lecture the form it took; but being somewhat of a pioneer, I suppose I set out with youthful energy to cover the ground. When the Lecture was printed it met with some approval (it is pleasant now to remember that it brought me a kind letter from Dr. Sprague), but I expect most of my old friends will think that the little thing might now, with the exhaustion of its first edition, have been allowed to die in peace. The publishers, however, are still being asked for copies, and so I agreed, perhaps rather weakly, to issue a revised edition.
No doubt, as regards its scope, the Lecture is open to the criticism that it attempts at once too much and too little. I hope, however, that it may still be found useful to the class for whom it was more particularly intended, viz., the Branch Managers and other Branch Officials who have but limited time and energy for study, but to whom it is so very important, in discussing Life Assurance daily with the general public, to know something of the theory of their business. To such, even if they do not master the whole, it must surely be useful to have a general inkling of the difficult problems which lie behind most pages of the prospectus, and which need much delicacy in daily treatment if the public are not to be misled.
I sincerely thank Mr. Frank L. Collins, F.I.A., the Assistant Actuary of the Clerical, Medical and General Life Assurance Society, for several suggestions, and for his general help in seeing this new edition through the press; and also Mr. 0. F. Diver, M.A., F.I.A., and Mr. G. H. Lawton, A.I.A., for kind assistance in looking through the proofs.
