The first section, written by James Allan Park, provides detailed information on marine insurance, including the types of policies available, the risks covered, and the legal implications of insurance contracts. The second section, written by Charles D. Abbott, covers the laws and regulations governing shipping in the British Empire, including the rules of navigation, the duties of ship owners and captains, and the procedures for resolving disputes.
