4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
REPRESENTATION, insurances. A representation is a collateral statement, 
either by writing not inserted in the policy, or by parol, of such facts or 
circumstances relative to the proposed adventure, as are necessary to be 
communicated to the underwriters, to enable them to form a just estimate of 
the risk. 
     2. A representation, like a warranty, may be either affirmative, as 
where the insured avers the existence of some fact or circumstance which may 
affect the risk; or promissory, as where he engages the performance of, 
something executory. 
     3. There is a material difference between a representation and a 
warranty. 
     4. A warranty, being a condition upon which the contract is to take 
effect, is always a part of the written policy, and must appear on the face 
of it. Marsh. Ins. c. 9, Sec. 2. Whereas a representation is only a matter 
of collateral information or intelligence on the subject of the voyage 
insured, and makes no part of the policy. A warranty being in the nature of 
a condition precedent, must be strictly and literally complied with; but it 
is sufficient if the representation be true in substance, whether a warranty 
be material to the risk or not, the insured stakes his claim of indemnity 
upon the precise truth of it, if it be affirmative, or upon the exact 
performance of it, if executory; but it is sufficient if a representation be 
made without fraud, and be not false in any material point, or if it be 
substantially, though not literally, fulfilled. A false warranty avoids the 
policy, as being a breach of the condition upon which the contract is to 
take effect; and the insurer is not liable for any loss though it do not 
happen in consequence of the breach of the warranty; a false representation 
is no breach of the contract, but if material, avoids the policy on the 
ground of fraud, or at least because the insurer has been misled by it. 
Marsh. Insur. B. 1, c. 10, s. 1; Dougl. R. 247: 4 Bro. P. C. 482. 
     See 2 Caines' R. 155; 1 Johns. Cas. 408; 2 Caines' Cas. 173, n.; 3 
Johns. Cas. 47; 1 Caines' Rep. 288; 2 Caines' R. 22; Id. 329; Sugd. Vend. 6; 
Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t. and Concealment; Misrepresentation. 



5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
