"This most elaborately prepared and important document reflects the highest credit on
the talented actuary who prepared it. It entirely supercedes the tables of Babbage
and Davies, and furnishes complete and perfect data for the computation of a safe

this was written, the Tables of Mr. D. Jones have appeared, which probably modify
the statement of Mr. Pocock.

All annuities and assurances, temporary and deferred, or, for the whole life; all values of Policies, whenever made, for every subsequent period; all the yearly risks of such Policies; assurances at increasing or decreasing premiums; five figure logarithms and anti-logarithms, &c. &c. &c. And every result has its logarithm set down by its side ready for use. The typography is so beautiful, the paper and type so luxurious, that a century hence a copy will be an object of competition to the Hebers and Spencers of that day.
