328 Mr. Lubbock on the Comparison of 



3. Table (1) contains different registers of mortality, giving 

 first the actual number of living deduced from the recorded 

 deaths, and then the same reduced to the radix 1000. 



The Table for Paris is taken from the Annuaire du Bureau 

 des Longitudes. 



The Breslaw Table is taken from Dr. Hal ley's Paper in the 

 Transactions of the Royal Society, it was formed from observations 

 communicated to the Royal Society by Mr. Justell. Dr. Halley 

 has not given the observations themselves. 



Kerseboom's Table was formed by him from registers of Life 

 Annuitants in Holland and West Friesland. Desparcieux's Tables 

 from lists of the nominees in the French Tontines, these two 

 must be considered as formed upon very select life. 



The Tables for Brussels and Amsterdam are taken from 

 the Recherc/ies stir la Population dans le Royaume des Pays 

 Bas, by Mr. Quetelet. 



The Table for Sweden was formed "from observations of 

 the proportion of the living to the numbers who died at all 

 ages for 21 years, from 175-5 to 1776, in the kingdom of Sweden." 

 See Dr. Price, Vol. II. p. 140. The Table for Montpellier is 

 from a Memoir by Mr. Morgue, in the first Vol. of the Memoires 

 de r Institut. The Northampton Table is taken from the deaths 

 in All Saints' Parish, Northampton, from 1735 to 1780. See 

 Dr. Price, Vol. II. p. 95. The Carlisle Table of mortality as 

 given by Mr. Milne, was formed by him from the observations 

 of the mortality which are given in the next column, combined 

 with two enumerations of the population. The numbers upon 

 which this Table is formed are very small. The expectation 

 of life is given at the foot, calculated from each by a method 

 similar to that I have explained for calculating annuities.
