Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Fire Insurance Companies Associations, Institutions, Projects and Schemes Established and Projected in Great Britain and Ireland During the 17th and 18th Centuries Including the Sun Fire Office: Also of Charles Povey the Projector of That Office His Writings and Schemes At an early period of my official career I conceived the idea of writing a Sketch of the History of Fire Insurance and Fire Insurance Offices, and from time to time collected information bearing upon the subject, but which the pressure of daily duties prevented my utilizing in the manner designed. Having, however, during the last two or three years devoted myself more especially to An Attempt to Elucidate the Early History of the Company of London Insurers, commonly called the Sun Fire Office Company, written for the private use of the Managers of that Office, to which was prefixed a slight notice of the Fire Offices and Schemes of the period, I determined, in order to preserve as much of the information which I had collected as was suitable for publication, to prepare the present work, which, it is hoped, may be acceptable to the Insurance World, and also to others who may be desirous of knowing something of the rise and progress of an important branch of one of the Great Institutions of the Country. It does not pretend to be more than a compilation. In the course of my investigations I traced several schemes which had passed into oblivion. They now appear in their chronological order There may still be others which I have not discovered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Insuring the Industrial Revolution written by Robin Pearson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire had always been one of the greatest threats to an early modern British society that relied on the naked flame as the prime source of heating, lighting and cooking. Yet whilst the danger of fire had always been taken seriously, it was not until the start of the eighteenth century that a sophisticated system of insurance became widely available. Whilst a number of high profile fires during the seventeenth century had drawn attention to the economic havoc a major conflagration could wreak, it was not until the effects of sustained industrialization began to alter the economic and social balance of the nation, that fire insurance really took off as a concept. The culmination of ten years of research, this book is the definitive work on early British fire insurance. It also provides a foundation for future comparative international studies of this important financial service, and for a greater level of theorising by historians about the relationship between insurance, perceptions of risk, economic development and social change. Through a detailed study of the archives of nearly 50 English and Scottish insurance companies founded between 1696 and 1850 - virtually all the records currently available - together with the construction of many new datasets on output, performance and markets, this book presents one of the most comprehensive histories ever written of a financial service. As well as measuring the size, market structure and growth rate of insurance, and the extent to which the first industrial revolution was insured, it also demonstrates ways in which insurance can be linked into wider issues of economic and social change in Britain. These range from an examination of the joint-stock company form of organization - to an analysis of changing attitudes towards fire hazard during the course of the eighteenth century. The book concludes by emphasising the ambivalent character of fire insurance in eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain, contrasting the industry's dynamic long-run rate of growth with its more conservative attitude to product design and diversification.

Download or read book Trust Among Strangers written by Penelope Ismay and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the internal migration of a growing population transformed Britain into a 'society of strangers'. The coming and going of so many people wreaked havoc on the institutions through which Britons had previously addressed questions of collective responsibility. Poor relief, charity briefs, box clubs, and the like relied on personal knowledge of reputations for their effectiveness and struggled to accommodate the increasing number of unknown migrants. Trust among Strangers re-centers problems of trust in the making of modern Britain and examines the ways in which upper-class reformers and working-class laborers fashioned and refashioned the concept and practice of friendly society to make promises of collective responsibility effective - even among strangers. The result is a profoundly new account of how Britons navigated their way into the modern world.
