A glimpse into the magnitude of the insurance business is caught when one realizes that the vast majority of the insurance settlements-questions and disputes between the companies and the policyholders and agents-are made without friction and entirely outside of any court; and yet, this book indexes the abstracts of more than 12,000 cases that have been fought clear through to the highest tribunals during the past twenty years.

The insurance questions of the future, whether they pertain to the peculiar relations that exist between the companies and the agents or to the perlexing situations and conditions that grow out of the written or implied contracts with the policyholders, will be settled in most part by the precedents that have been established.

An effort has been made to make this Index as complete a key as possible to the abstracts included in the 20 volumes of the Digest. The book contains about 460 general classifications on the one subject of Insurance, and under these general heads there will be found in the neighborhood of 2,700 sub-heads and over 1,000 cross references.

In addition to the American cases, there are in the Digest abstracts of all cases that have reached the highest courts in all other English speaking countries, so that the work complete represents the crystallized Court-Made Insurance Law of the English speaking world-a thing not hitherto attempted.

With satisfaction in the thought that this book, holding between its covers the key to all of the precedents established during twenty years, will promote the equitable and harmonious settlements of questions and disputes as they arise, it is dedicated by the publishers and the author to the lawyer and to the insurance man in the office and in the field who is desirous of being certain as to what the Courts of Last Resort have laid down as the law.
