Extract

If a classification be made of any considerable number of life policies according to age at issue, a cursory inspection will show that the numbers at the different ages are not fortuitous, but are subject to some unknown, though plainly marked, mathematical relation; and the amenity of the results to law will be more evident as the number of policies employed in the classification is larger, and the effect of merely accidental fluctuations is consequently more nearly eliminated.
