Excerpt from The Insurance Cyclopedia, Vol. 1: Being a Dictionary of the Definition of Terms Used in Connexion With the Theory and Practice of Insurance in All Its Branches I cannot tell how far the work may even be welcomed in a popular sense here - the depressed state Of our Insurance interests I confess causes me some misgivings. But I have one abiding consolation and that is, that every page of it will receive a hearty welcome on the other side of the Atlantic. There, it is an axiom of the business, that Knowledge is power - and in that spirit every word written, either upon the former history or present practice of insurance, finds in the great body of Insurance officials, agents, and canvassers, countless thousands of readers. I must own (and without intending the smallest disrespect to Insurance interests here) that the recog nition of this fact has had a sustaining in uence upon me: it has often ashed across me during the dreary hours of the night, imparting a ray of hope to the heart, and renewed power to the pen.
