Excerpt from Series of Tables of Annuities and Assurances Calculated From a New Rate-of Mortality Amongst Assured Lives: With Examples Illustrative of Their Construction and Application, &C. &C. &C The object of the present publication, and an explanation of the data, from which the tables have been computed, are set forth in the "Introduction." It was originally the author's intention simply to publish a few tables, with practical examples, illustrative of their application: but, in working out the examples, it occurred to him that it would not be unacceptable to those who take an interest in the subject, but who are not familiar with the theory of Annuities and Assurances, if he were also to explain, without using any algebraic symbols, the principles upon which the tables were constructed. This he has endeavoured to accomplish. To those persons, therefore, who are acquainted with decimal arithmetic, the author thinks that they would find in the "Examples" an "Elementary Treatise" on Annuities and Assurances, which would be of considerable service to them by way of preparation for the study of the larger and more comprehensive treatises by Milne, Bailey, and D. Jones. The whole of the computations made from the "New Rate of Mortality," have been carefully calculated by two separate computers.
