The Institute of Actuaries was founded in 1848 and contributed to the study of the theory of life contingencies, enabling an exchange of ideas between its members and bringing about a greater consistency in their methods. Its aims were advanced by the publication of its Journal, originally called The Assurance Magazine, which first appeared in September 1850. The magazine was founded by two well-known actuaries, Charles Jellicoe and Samuel Brown, and was adopted as the organ of the Institute of Actuaries in 1852. Jellicoe continued as its editor until 1867 when he was succeeded by T. B. Sprague. Good .

[RUDDIMAN (Thomas) GOODALL (Walter) and BROWN (Alexander) Compilers.]

A Catalogue of the Library of the Faculty of Advocates, Edinburgh.

Edinburgh: Printed by Thomas, Walter, and Thomas Ruddiman, [Printed by Balfour and Smellie; Printed by Alex. Smellie], 1742-1776-1807. First edition, 3 vols., folio (330 x 215 mm), [6], 649, [1]; [4], 598; [4], 468pp., printed in double-column, foxing to endpapers and first and last few leaves, otherwise generally very clear, marbled endpapers, cont. calf, edges rubbed, both upper and lower boards with large ornate strap-work centrepiece in blind, rebacked, with contrasting leather labels lettered in gilt. The National Library of Scotland, though officially inaugurated only in 1925, had its origins in the much older institution, the Library of the Advocates which was established in a rented house in the corner of the Parliament Close of Edinburgh in 1682. "The 1742 catalogue was admirably compiled by Thomas Ruddiman, printer and scholar, who was one of a number of notable librarians during the eighteenth century. Another was David Hume the philosopher, who succeeded Ruddiman in 1752 and held office till 1757... As time went on the Library increasingly assumed a national character, and became a place of deposit for material relating to the history and literature of Scotland."—Kelly.

The Creation of the Modern Ministry of Finance in Siam, 1885-1910

Macmillan, 1992. Hardcover. Pp: 146. In the late 1880s, King Chulalongkorn of Siam initiated a major programme of internal reform. These reforms - the objectives that were being sought and the success that was achieved - have had a major influence in shaping the character of the modern Thai state. Using Thai-language archival material, this book examines a crucial element in the dismantling of the traditional government structure and the installation of a Western-style administration - the creation of a modern Ministry of Finance. It focuses on the new Ministry's struggle to establish a measure of central control over the kingdom's revenues and the government's expenditures, setting that struggle and its outcome in the context of the aims, and the limitations, of the Chulalongkorn reforms.

Giovanni Bellini: The Last Works

YS. Hardback. Pp: 400. Giovanni Bellini (d. 1516) worked to the end of a long career that left an indelible mark on Venetian painting. His longevity and indefatigable devotion to his art created a problem for art historians, however, for he is one of those Quattrocento masters who remained active into the period we call the High Renaissance. But while his colleagues became irrelevant, Bellini, in the first decades of the Sixteenth century, continued to be creatively vital. Indeed, he flourished as never before. Vasari and other early writers failed to distinguish Bellini`s late works from the rest of his production. Focused on Titian as the quintessential �"œold age�"� artist, subsequent writers have also paid little attention to Bellini`s late work as a separate phase of his career. Such studies as there are treat everything he painted after the turn of the century as a whole and in approximation to Giorgione, said by Vasari to have invented the �"œmaniera moderna�"� in Venice. To be properly understood, Bellini`s pictures from the last decade and a half of his life must be divided into two separate categories. The six paintings he made during his final years (1513-16) constitute a distinct group that differs significantly from his previous works in style, support, subject matter, and mood. Bellini did not choose the subjects of his last pictures, which were stipulated by his patrons, but in a period in which he relied more and more on assistants, his decision to undertake and personally conceive and execute them points to a special commitment on his part to their creation. The Feast of the Gods (National Gallery of Art, Washington), dated 1514, and other works that follow it, like the Woman with a Mirror in Vienna and the Drunkenness of Noah in Bensançon, display a much expanded range of subject matter and a new degree of inventiveness. They reveal a great artist driven to excel still further, to explore new territory, and, in a burst of creativity, to make his final achievement. New technical investigations have played a key role in grasping the novelty of Bellini`s last works. The artist`s great mythological canvas in Washington, in particular, has been the subject of a recent scientific investigation using the latest multi-spectral scanning technology. This study, undertaken by the scientific lab at the National Gallery of Art, marks a major advance in the technical analysis of works of art. And it literally sheds new light on the Feast of the Gods , allowing us to see more clearly than ever before images or motifs hidden below the paint surface. These details buried in the paint layers represent the artist`s first ideas so the technical investigation makes a major contribution to understanding his creativity. ISBN: 9788857239965.
