Treatise On Friendly Societies PDF Download

Excerpt from A Treatise on Friendly Societies: In Which the Doctrine of Interest of Money and the Doctrine of Probability Are Practically Applied to the Affairs of Such Societies; With Numerous Tables; And an Appendix, Containing the Acts of Parliament Relating to Friendly Societies As it is not intended that the work should be confined to the reading Of those only who have made some progress in a know ledge Of algebra, it has been deemed proper to give rules, in words at length, by which all the arithmetical Operations, required in computing tables for the use of Friendly Societies, can be per formed without any reference whatever to algebraical formulae. Mostof the values and tables introduced are expressed in deci mal fractions, and since the work may be consulted by some per sons not very familiar with that mode Of expression, it i well to print the rule and tables given in this and the three fol lowing pages the application of which rule and tables will, it is hoped, be sufficiently plain to obviate any difficulty that might, without them, arise in making use Of the several tables inserted in the body Of the work.
