System

This system of insurance is like a vast machine.

Let the parts be constructed by independent artisans without any reference to the labors of each other, and you have no warrant that they will fit together and work in harmony, or produce any kind of useful result.

But let the artificers come together and unite their skill; let the different parts be made for each other, and by connecting links be made to work together, and you will have a perfect machine.
