| Summary |
"This book is written with the object of assisting both those who are actively engaged in the business of life assurance, and lawyers who in the practice of their profession may be called upon to advise on matters relating to the assurance of lives or to consider points arising under some of the seven million life policies in force in Australia. The Australian statutory provisions relating to life assurance differ so markedly from any in force in England that the various English text books on the subject do not of themselves satisfy the needs of the Australian reader." -- preface, page v |
