Excerpt from Philosophy and Methods of Operation of the Analytic System for the Measurement of Relative Fire Hazard (Mercantile Classes): Papers Read Before the Fire Insurance Club of Chicago, 1908-1909 But if we are right in principle, the working out of the right details is merely a matter of time. I hope that all who intend to study the system with us either are here tonight or will read this paper before we take up any of the later papers. Since I consider this first one necessary to a proper understanding of the others, your speaker would be seriously handicapped by a lack of understanding on your part of the principles of the system. In our study of principles we must necessarily lift ourselves above details, let us drop details completely and place ourselves in a position where we can look over the broad valley of fire in surance and secure a bird's-eye view of the business, not distorted by this or that detail, which viewed close at hand looms large, but which at a distance resumes its proper relation to other details.
