Actuarial Science

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This little handbook is the outcome of a course of lectures delivered by the author during the winter of 1891-92, under the auspices of the Institute of Accountants and Actuaries in Glasgow. It is intended as an elementary treatise on Actuarial Science, and is published in the hope that it may, in part at least, supply a want which has frequently been expressed. The existing Text Books are all that could be desired for the professional Actuary, but they are much too advanced for those who make the subject only a side branch of study.
