Wilhelm Benecke's System des See-Assekuranz
und Bodmerei Wesens Fact Sheet
|
Originally written in English from 1807-1821 in
five volumes, the work was known as: System of the insurance
industry - and Bodmereiwesens it was considered a classic
work and compendium in this area. In 1824 it appeared in London
under the title:
A treatise on the principles of indemnity in marine insurance, and
bottomry respondentia, and on their practical application in
effecting those contracts, and in the adjustment of all claims
arising out of them: for the use of underwriters, merchants, and
lawyers / by William Benecke, of Lloyd's of London. Around
1851 it was switched to
two volumes and published by Vincent Nolte and the title was changed
to: Wilhelm Benecke's System Des
See-Assekuranz- and Bodmerei-Wesens which was translated into
many languages. The book in need of repair in our collection
is the German translation of the two volumes printed in 1851. As you
can see in the pictures below, most of the Text is in good
condition, the cover is just badly in need of repair. There is
lovely marbled paper on the outside which we hope can be salvaged.
The cost to repair this two volume set is $300. To adopt the set,
