The proportions which tho Diseases, stated in the above Table, bear 

 to the whole amount of Deaths, and also to the Populations of each of 

 the towns respectively, are given in the Tables contained in the Report 

 already referred to ; and, what is of still greater importance, the ages 

 at which death takes place bj the various diseases are carefully 

 exhibited. 



It had occurred to me, on drawing up papers on the Vital Statistics 

 of Glasgow and of Edinburgh, that the uniformity of certain results 

 was deserving of particular notice, and led me to the belief, that by a 

 more extended field of observation, it would be found that this uni- 

 formity was not accidental, but the result of certain specific laws of 

 mortality operating at different ages. It will be perceived that this 

 view of the case is very much strengthened by facts brought forward 

 in the Report on the Vital Statistics of five large towns of Scotland ;
