Private insurance
Throwing it on
a party who is
content to bear
it — as on a
private insurer.
In the case of private insurance the advantage
results from this circumstance. The insurer
being prepared to sustain the loss [which
may take place] is he is therefore exempt from that pain of
privation which he would otherwise experience,
or at least the intensity of that which he feels
is much abated. The term of his proposing himself
for it was that of his receiving his premium,

to these as well as the contracts here in question, just
as he would to any other.

of accident whether any will be found who
will insure against losses of this sort, and indeed
whether any will so much as think of procuring themselves
to be insured. b Besides the remedy is but an im- -perfect
