"Our Centenary" is a comprehensive historical record of the Clerical, Medical and General Life Assurance Society, written to commemorate its first hundred years of operation. Authored by Arthur Digby Besant, a prominent actuary, the work provides a detailed look at the evolution of the life insurance industry from its early nineteenth-century foundations through to the post-war era of the 1920s.
The book meticulously chronicles the growth and financial stability of the institution, highlighting the pivotal moments and key figures who shaped its trajectory. It offers unique insights into the mathematical and administrative developments of the actuarial profession, as well as the intersection of medical science and financial risk management. By examining a century of corporate governance and economic fluctuations, "Our Centenary" serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of finance, the development of British insurance practices, and the broader socio-economic landscape of 19th and early 20th-century London.
