Principles and Practices of Life Insurance

By The Spectator Company · Published 1892 · Public domain (original) · Scan © Glenn Cooke

Primer on life insurance basics, interest, annuities, etc. Meant more for non-actuaries. The Spectator Company was a prominent life insurance industry publisher back then. There’s a more comprehensive list of all their books at the u of penn site here. Another interesting point, the original owner of this book was actually employed at Mutual Life insurance in Waterloo, Ontario (local to me) and lived in Guelph, Ontario (also local to me).
