INSURANCE OF 0LDEN TINE

Marine insurance was regular
business during the Roman empire,
leing started in the form of loans on
cargoes for which varied rate of in
terest was charged according to the
hazard. In explaining the origin of
the term underwriters" he said that
when a ship was about to set out
upon a voyage from England. it was
the custom to pass around at Lloyds
a paper upon which was written des-
cription of the vessel and it's cargo,
with the name of the master and the
character of the crew and the voyage
contemplated. Those of the mer-
chants and others present desiring to
tecome. insurers would write there
under their names. together with the
amount which each was willing to
take or be liable for as an insurer
When the total amount of insur-
ance desired had been underwritten
the contract was complete. The term
underwriters" as now applied to in
surers arose by reason of this custom
OF Lloyds.
