LIFE INSURANCE.


The First Recorded INSTANCE of the Intro
duction of Toutine Annuities.
With the growth of commerce in the
middle ages, a system of marine insur-
ance grew up in some of the chief mer-
camille cities. In 1888 Chief Justice
Coke, in one of the reports of his de-
cisions, speaks of insurance in England
as quite a novelty, and it does not seem
TO have been recognized by law at that
time. The first English statute which
contains it was issued in 1901, in the
reign of Queen Elizabeth. This first
application OF the principle of insur-
ance was limited to mar ne risks The
manifest advantages gained by it soon
led to its application to fire risks, and
eventually to various other interests,
as the Insurance of growing crops
against hail, to the insuring of cattle,
travellers from accidents, and also to
life insurance, but the precise date at
which the practice of life insurance
began is not known with definiteness.
1t has been stated that within about
four hundred years after the comence-
ment of the Christian era, tables were
in existence for the calculation of an
nuities. The next step towards the
practical realization of life insurance
was the introduction of the system of
annuities.
The first recorded instance of an or
ganized attempt to introduce the use of
annuities was made by Lorenzo Tonic,
or Tonti, q Neapolitan, who lived dur
ing the middle portion of the seven
teenth century. His plan was as fol-
lows: A certain number of persons
contributed certain sum to general
fund, no distinction being made either
on account of age or sex. At the end
of each year the interest of the general
fund thus created was divided among
those of the contributors who were liv-
ing. This was done year by year, until
the sole survivor received the whole of
the interest The Tontine system was
established in France in 1858. and pro-
hibited in 1878. In the United States
the practice of life insurance was in
troduced before the revolution by the
formation of society by some Episco-
pal ministers in 1869. Their associa-
ton was called the Protestant Episco-
pal association for the benefit of wild
Ows and children of clergymen of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
There is no country in the world in
which the practice of life insurance is
so general as in the United States, nor
is there any country in which the prin-
ciples of accuracy and stability have
been more generally introduced into
the business. Toledo Blade.
