Excerpt from The First Business of the World and Other Addresses and Papers That our whole civil and social system seemed monstrous to him was not strange. He could literally find nothing to approve. Great business houses, whose workings seem to us models of good order, effectiveness and justice, were to him dens of wickedness: in them men struggled mightily to overcome other men, to trample the weak under foot. Wherever he turned were the same disorder and cruelty humanity tearing at itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Darwin Pearl Kingsley, the eldest son and second child of Hiram Pearl and Celia (LaDue) Kingsley and descendant of seventeenth-century New England settlers, was born on May 05, 1857 on a farm near Alburg, Vermont, United States.
In boyhood Darwin did farm chores and attended the local school. By much stinting and saving, he managed to attend the University of Vermont, walking to it from his home, arriving on an autumn day in 1877 with forty-five dollars in his pocket. He worked his way through, cooking his own meals, and, among other odd jobs, serving as the college bell-ringer. He remarked in later life that this "formed a habit for me; I'm never late to an appointment. " He graduated from the university in 1881 with the degree of Machelor of Arts.
In 1881 Kingsley went to visit a sister in Wyoming and to look about him for a business; but finding no prospects there, he tried teaching school for a year in Denver. Then he drifted down to Grand Junction, Colorado, at that time a rough frontier town, with many prospectors and gamblers in its population. Here, after trying for various jobs, he borrowed money and bought the Republican paper, the Grand Junction News, with a small and rickety equipment. He did not like the political ring government of the town and said so in no ambiguous terms. His attack developed into a crusade so bitter that he had to carry a pistol and employ an armed bodyguard. But his zeal and courage had been so widely and favorably noticed that he was elected as an alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention of 1884.
In 1887-1888 Kingsley served as state auditor and insurance inspector. In this capacity he made a careful study of insurance in all its phases, and his reports attracted the attention of all the large insurance companies, several of which offered him positions. He accepted the invitation of the New York Life Insurance Company to become its inspector of agencies in the New England territory, with his office in Boston. He began this work in 1889. In 1892 the company sent him to New York as superintendent of all agencies, and he rose rapidly by promotion thereafter until he became vice-president in 1898.
On June 17, 1907, he became president of the company. He accompanied Frank A. Vanderlip and Jacob G. Schurman on a financial mission to Japan and while there was appointed a member of the Commercial Relations Committee of the Japan Society to Aid Oriental Trade. For a year he was president of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York. He became an eloquent public speaker. A committee member of the National Association of Owners of Railroad Securities, an ardent student of internal and international affairs, he wrote and spoke ably and extensively on all these subjects. He retired from the presidency of the New York Life Insurance Company in 1930 and became chairman of the board of directors, which position he held until his death.
During Kingsley's twenty-three-year tenure at New York Life Insurance Company, its business was more than doubled. The number of policies in force was 993, 630 in 1906; in 1928 there were more than two and a half millions; while the assets had increased from $500, 000, 000 to $2, 000, 000, 000. Kingsley also established agencies all through Russia and did a large business there, though the Soviet Government seized all these branches in 1918. Under his administration, the company erected an enormous new building on the site of the old Madison Square Garden in New York.

Kingsley was a member of University and Merchants' Club of New York.
On June 19, 1884 Kingsley was married to Mary M. Mitchell of Grand Junction, and by her had one son, Walton Pearl. His first wife died in 1890 and he was married on December 3, 1895, to Josephine I. McCall, daughter of John A. McCall, president of the New York Life Insurance Company, and by her had four children--Hope, Darwin Pearl, Jr. , Lois, and John McCall.
