Assurance and Annuity Tables,

According to the Carlisle rate of mortality, at Three per cent. By PETER GRAY, F.R. A.S., A.I.A., Author of "Tables and Formulæ for the Computation of Life Contingencies," HENRY AMBROSE SMITH, F.I.A., and WILLIAM ORCHARD, F.I.A., Author of " Single and Annual Assurance Premiums at Eight Rates of Interest." These tables afford the means of readily solving any problem in which either one or two lives are concerned. The single life values tabulated are those of the annuities and the single and annual assurance premiums for every age, and the two life values are those of the single and annual survivorship assurance premiums, for every possible combination of two ages. The single premiums for every other kind of assurance on two lives, and the annual premiums for an assurance on their joint continuance, are hence deducible by the mere addition or subtraction of tabulated values; while, by the aid of a new auxiliary table, we pass at once, with the utmost facility, from any assurance value to its corresponding annuity value, the latter being in all cases true, within narrow limits, to four decimal places. The work comprises also the requisite auxiliary tables, for the formation of the values of temporary and deferred benefits. In royal 8vo., price 10s. 6d, cloth.
