Abstract
YOUR article in NATURE for July 6, pp. 383—4, quotes me correctly that life assurance business has been based upon mortality tables which represented the expectation of life under the relatively unhealthy conditions which existed a half-century ago and then, a few sentences later, the article makes the above quotation credit me with saying that the mortality tables were published “a half-century ago”—which I did not say.
