Here Are The Suggested Rules of the Game:
1. Please play on the most recent correct post.
2 Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post.
3. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.
4. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a", "an", or "the").
5. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title. E.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes", and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty."
6. The repeated word must be in the title as shown on the title page of the book--not, e.g., part of the series name unless such is part of the title as shown on the title page.
7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two: e.g., "thunder-clouds"; and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only.
8. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.
9. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an html link.

A System of the Law of Marine Insurances, With Three Chapters on Bottomry; on Insurances on Lives; and on Insurances Against Fire. by Sir James Allan Park
I had to look up the meaning of bottomry" in an online insurance dictionary.
Bottomry: Method of transferring pure risks that is perhaps the seed of the modern day insurance policy. Ancient Greece held to the concept that a loan on a ship was canceled if the ship failed to return to its port. This concept was adopted by Lloyd's of London in the 1600s when insuring England's merchants for goods shipped to the colonies. The formation of property and casualty insurance companies worldwide began by insuring the transport of merchandise over bodies of water.

I read bits and pieces of this (it's a reference work, not a novel) way back when it was published, and I was naive enough to play the English Opening as White. Grandmasters may still play it occasionally, but I think 1.e4 or 1.d4 are better options for White.
