Excerpt from Insolvent Sick and Burial Clubs, the Causes and the Cure, or How to Choose or Found a Reliable Friendly Society: With a Large Illustrative Diagram, Suitable for Suspension in Club-Rooms, Showing, at a Glance, the Average Annual Sickness, and the Expectation of Life at Various AgesI have been in the habit for some time past, when lecturing on Friendly Societies, in various parts of the kingdom, of explaining the laws of sickness and mortality by reference to a diagram which exhibits the results of the past experience of the Manchester Unity Friendly Society at a single glance. I have found no difficulty, with its assistance, in clearly demonstrating, even to the relatively uneducated artizan, the nature and the imperative character of these laws. It has, on various occasions, been suggested to me that the publica tion of this diagram on a sufficiently large scale to render it available for exhibition in club rooms, &c., , would materially aid in the dissemination of sound knowledge on this most im portant subject. Believing, however, that the diagram, alone, would not be of much advantage without some accom panying explanation, I have prepared the following pages with the view of placing before provident working men, in a concise and cheap form, the chief practical lessons which the facts represented by the diagram inculcate.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
