  • The earliest event of the year 1844 was the presentation to Parliament of the “First Report” of the Committee on Joint-Stock Companies, appointed in 1841. The report set out by stating that, as a good deal of the information affecting persons was in the nature of ex parte statements, caution would be required in promulgating it: hence much of the evidence collected would he stated summarily. I shall confine myself here to the passages bearing upon Insurance Associations.

  • On the Value of the Option of Withdrawal in Deferred Annuity Contracts

  • W. B. Paterson
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    18 August 2016, pp. 465-471

  • The subject of this paper was suggested by a perusal of the correspondence in the 12th and 13th volumes of the Journal, in which several members of the Institute engaged, and which left the matter in an unsatisfactory position.

    Since that time no further notice of the subject appears to have been taken; but the publication of the last Government Annuity Tables renders further investigation of the subject possible.

  • Mortality Experience of the Provident Life and Trust Company of Philadelphia, 1866 to 1885

  • Asa S. Wing, T. B. Sprague
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    18 August 2016, pp. 316-320

  • It would be a very useful and interesting task to examine the numerous mortality experiences which have been publisht of late years; to compare them carefully with each other, so as to see how far they agree and in what respects they differ; and to note what contributions (if any) they have made to the general theory of life insurance. On the present occasion I will state the results of my examination of the recently publisht experience of the abovementioned company. The experience extends over 20 years, and contains 124,526 policy-years, the numbers at risk ranging from 301·5 policies in the year 1866 to 13,927 in the year 1885.
