Extract

In the present paper it is intended to investigate the nature of mortality from Suicide, with a view to assist statists in estimating the value of life, and society in its endeavours to remedy so frightful an evil.

It is usual with Assurance Offices to make void policies which have lapsed from the above cause; and it was not until a very recent period that the justice of this proceeding was called into question,—especially when it is borne in mind that these risks are invariably calculated in the premiums.
