The History of Lloyd's and of Marine Insurance in Great Britain [1876]

Martin [1830-1883], the editor of the Statesman's Year-Book, examines the development of marine insurance in what was then the world's leading maritime power. He shows that the system developed under Lloyd's leadership, which drew heavily on commercial, international and admiralty law, enabled Great Britain to become preeminent in maritime affairs and provided the model adopted in other parts of the world.
