    PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. Anybody who has read the National Insurance Act, 1911, must have realised at once that the Act was, in many respects, a skeleton, and that an immense amount of detail was left to be filled in by regulations, etc. A large number of these regulations, etc., have now been made, nearly all of which have been incorporated in this book. It is essential for anyone who is connected with the administration of the Act to make constant reference to these regulations, and it is hoped that a book which contains them collected together in a convenient form will be of value. This Edition does not, however, consist merely of the old Edition with the addition of the regulations. The Author has carefully revised the whole text, and has made numerous additions and alterations thereto. The relevant cases decided during 1912 have been referred to and incorporated in the text. A digest of selected cases decided by the Insurance Commissioners has been printed which, it is hoped, will prove a useful addition to the book. The Author desires to express his thanks to the numerous correspondents who were so kind as to write to him on the subject of the First Edition, and to say that he has lieen immensely helped in the work of preparing the Second Edition by their criticisms and suggestions. Any further help of the same nature will be much appreciated.
