This is said in full recognition Of the large and most valuable body Of insurance literature already in existence. It is the point Of view taken in the preparation of this material which gives it its peculiar value to the students of the subject and to those who are interested in it either as a business or as a profession. The Object of the course was to give the student such a knowledge of the fundamental principles of insurance and such a view Of its extent and its methods of operation as would enable him to judge accurately Of its power as an economic force, and would further prepare him for wise action when the duties of his profession or business required him to guard himself or others from possible loss.
