Remarks On The Valuation Of Widows Funds With Tables Etc PDF Download

Excerpt from Remarks on the Valuation of Widows' Funds: With Tables to Assist the Actuary in Such Investigations, Based on the Experience of the Widows' Funds of the Ministers and Schoolmasters in Scotland In the early part of the session of 1864, I read a paper before the Actuarial Society of Edinburgh, on the Valuation of Widows Schemes, and on that occasion I explained the mode of preparation of a few Tables, arranged from the statistics of the Widows' Funds of the Ministers of the Church of Scotland, and of the Burgh and Parochial Schoolmasters in Scotland, exhibiting the law of marriage among the members of these Societies. It occurred to some of the gentlemen present on that occasion, that the publication of these Tables might be useful to Actuaries engaged in the examination of the affairs of such bodies, and I was requested to extend my paper and give it publicity. This, then, is my excuse for offering such an humble work to the profession. I publish it nearly in the same state in which it was originally written, as other engagements have prevented my devoting much additional time to its completion.
