Best remembered for practical books on fire and marine insurance, this 19th-century writer also turned his eye to travel, leaving behind a lively account of an Alaska journey. His work feels rooted in the everyday business world of his time, but it still offers a clear glimpse of how people organized risk, law, and commerce in the late 1800s.
