Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sources and Characteristics of the Principal Mortality Tables In view of the fact that, with the exception of a very few modem text books, the literature of Actuarial Science is contained in scattered original papers, The Actuarial Society of America proposes to issue a series of small volumes upon important actuarial subjects. Each volume is intended to bring together, as far as space permits, the more important points of information on the subject discussed. The objects in issuing the series are twofold: (1) to assist students of Actuarial Science, and (2) to furnish a means of ready reference for Actuaries. The various subjects are allocated to Fellows of the Society by the Committee in Charge; and, associated with the principal contributor, who is primarily responsible for the matter included and the views expressed, are one or more "Associate Contributors." These are appointed for the purpose of aiding and criticizing the work before publication. It is proposed to avoid discussing subjects already covered in the Text Book of the Institute of Actuaries except as continuity of thought may make occasional references necessary. The title chosen to represent the character of this series is "Actuarial Studies." The thanks of the Society and of the Committee in Charge are due to all the contributors who have freely given of their time and labor, with the sole purpose of helping others - especially students.
