longevity. Philadelphia, also, in this respect, compares advan- 
tageously with Montpellier, and more especially so with London. 
The statement in the table respecting the diocesses in Norway, 
relates to the year 1761, and indicates that country to be remark- 
ably distinguished for longevity. The following statement, taken 
from Easton, furnishes further evidence of the same fact. There 
were, in the diocess of Christiana, in.1763, 150 married couples 
who had lived together upwards of 80 years ; 70 others who had 
lived together 90 years and upwards ; 12 from 100 to 105 years ; 
and one 110 years. : 
The following Table shows what proportion of 10,000 persons in the respect- 
wve countries and cities mentioned, die at the several ages specified. The 
number standing over each column denotes the number of deaths on which 
the calculations, in the several cases, have been founded ; each being reduced 
to a radix of 10,000.
