The principles upon which surrender values should be calculated are discussed at length in papers by Mr. Macfadyen (J. I. A., xvii, 381); Mr. Crisford (J. I. A., xxi, 301); and Mr. Fulford (J. I. A., xxxv, 199), but none of the methods proposed appear entirely satisfactory in practice, and I have therefore attempted to devise a scheme which shall not only give results in reasonable accordance with strict theory, but also prove simple and easily worked in its practical application.

page 281 note * A demonstration similar to that on p. 238 was given by Mr. H. W. Brown in his paper (1899) on the Valuation of Special Class Policies (Transactions of the Actuarial Society of Edinburgh, Vol. iv. No. 12). A similar demonstration will also be found in an unsigned review (1904), J. I. A., xxxviii. 375.—ED.
