Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles and Finance of Fire Insurance In the autumn of 1903 I had the honour to deliver a course of ten lectures at the London School of Economics (University of London) on "The Principles, Practice and Finance of Fire Insurance." These lectures were well received, and caused a gratifying amount of interest, not only among those who listened to them, but also among insurance officials outside. I have, therefore, ventured to recast my Lectures in the form of this book, and present the result in the hope that it will be accepted as a serious study in the comparative science of insurance. For many years past I have had opportunities of being in close touch with nearly every branch of insurance business, and it has become a matter of conviction that no one branch can be profitably studied by itself. The great branch of insurance on property known as Fire Insurance is closely akin in many respects to the other great branch of Marine Insurance.

Download or read book Principles of Insurance Vol 2 written by W. F. Gephart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of Insurance, Volume Two: Fire is a work authored by W.F. Gephart, and is a detailed analysis of insurance coverage at the beginning of the 20th century. Gephart's purpose in writing Principles of Insurance was to create a text about insurance coverage that was accessible to the students, teachers, and colleges of the United States. In his preface, the author bemoans the lack of available literature on the subject, stating that while a wealth of information does exist, it is data that is primarily closely guarded by insurance companies. This volume, the second in a two-volume set, thus examines the basics of insurance coverage as it relates to fire. The book is divided into chapters, each of which discusses a specific aspect of insurance. The author begins the work with an examination of the historical development of fire insurance, before delving into topics such as the economics of fire insurance, hazards in fire insurance, the limitations of liability and distribution, the relationship between the state and insurance, and several more. Principles of Insurance: Fire is a thorough overview of the insurance industry and its handling of cases involving fire. Gephart expertly weaves practical examples throughout the text to better illuminate the topics discussed. The book is well written, and the author's textbook-style approach to the subject matter is appropriate. While the insurance industry has evolved significantly since this book's initial publication, a great deal of the information in this text is still of value to the modern reader. Individuals interested in a textbook about insurance, specifically as it relates to incidences of fire, will find W.F. Gephart's Principles of Insurance, Volume Two: Fire to be a worthwhile read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Insurance It seems desirable that either a new edition of the lec tures should be printed, or that something new should be published in their place. The latter alternative has been chosen, and instead of simply reprinting the old lectures, the plan has been adopted of selecting special readings, partly from the Yale Lectures, partly from other sources. This plan was preferred because the literature of fire and miscellaneous forms of insurance has been devel oping so rapidly that a much more comprehensive text book can now be prepared than was possible a few years ago. By not confining this volume to a reprint of the old lectures, it has been possible to take advantage of the advance which has taken place in this literature. Only seven of the lectures in the old volume are reprinted, and all but one of these have been extensively changed. Some of the matter now published has never appeared before, and much of the remainder has been revised. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Fire Insurance written by Frank R. Fairweather and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Insurance: A Hand Book for Insurance Agents "The business which will not pay insurance is not worth following." As fire insurance is regarded as a necessary expense attending all business, and as the cost thereof is directly determined by the loss ratio in the districts, states, or provinces, grouped together in the territories regarded by the head offices of companies as "fields," so, therefore, all knowledge which can be given to fire insurance agents and to the public, explaining the causes of fire and the ordinary precautions necessary to guard against these causes, is beneficial to the community in the end. For if the Maritime Provinces of Canada, generally grouped together by the head offices as one field, where certain conditions exist and where certain rates must be applied to make the ordinary profit of the business, should show for a number of years a ratio of loss between the ordinary, then it would be perfectly fair for the people to apply for a reduction in the rates prevailing during the time the extraordinary profit was made. And it need not be supposed that the causes of fires are in themselves of an abtruse nature and difficult of comprehension to the ordinary mind, for many of the fires which occur result from causes so simple in themselves and so easily guarded against that is surprising a fire should ever have been allowed to happen. Yet happen they do and happen they will, so long as ignorance of the cardinal principles relating to combustion prevails, while the loss goes into the ever increasing statistics and helps to keep the rates at high level. It shall be, then, our plan in this little work to deal with the simple and ordinary causes of fires, combined with some instruction about illuminates such as acetylene, electricity, gas and kerosene, and instruction about fire insurance generally.

The simplest and clearest lan guage is sometimes susceptible of more than one interpretation, so it is not strange that there are differences of opinion regarding por tions of the standard policy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Warranty in Fire Insurance Contracts In the Life Insurance contract the doctrine of Warranty in presenti is found in all its force, and justly so, because there it is natural and at home, springing from and in fact being inher ent in that contract. It is commonly stated by the text-writers that the general principles rel ative to the Life and Fire Insurance contracts are the same. No greater error can be com mited, and especially is this statement a very grave and important error as to the doctrines of Representation and of Warranty. The essen tial difference between the two contracts grows out of the objects about which they are formed. The Life Insurance contract is based always on a written application, which contains ques tions and answers going into the minutest de tails of the applicant's past and present health.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Standard Fire Policy: Lectures Before the Fire Insurance Club of Chicago In this case a fire occurred in the wire tower through which the wires for electric lights were carried from the building. This fire caused a short circuit, and the short circuit resulted in keeping back or bringing into the dynamo below an increase of electric current, that made it more difficult for the armature to revolve than before, and caused a higher power to be exerted upon it; that this was transmitted to the pulley by which this armature was run through a belt. The 'shock destroyed that pul ley, and by the destruction of that pulley the main shaft was disturbed, and the succeeding pulleys, up to the jack pulley, were ruptured. By reason of pieces flying from the jack pulley, or from some other cause, the flywheel of the engine was destroyed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Fire Insurance The Author has endeavoured, in the present volume, to ofi'er to the reader a view of the Law of Fire Insurance as it now exists, and as applied to the practice of Insurance Offices. Ohe imagines that such a work is wanted, and he trusts that it may be useful. This is, indeed, the only consolation of the text-writer - for, like a child digging castles in the sand, he sees each succeeding wave of judicial decisions obliterate his labours, until the lapse of a few years renders his book all but valueless, and it sinks like an old newspaper into a mere record of the past. It is very true that the same fate awaits with increasing certainty the writer in almost every other department of knowledge. The extension of education, and the advances that are every day made in science and criticism, have so multiplied books and authors, that it is only at very rare intervals that the publeation can be expected of a stand work, that will not at no distant date oe' superseded by some more perfect production. The labours of the ten-writer have, however, many uses, not only in informmg the student, and assisting the practi tioner, but in so bringing together the authorities as to detect.
