16 Mr. Worcester on Longevity. 
Deerfield for 20 years, Amherst for 15 years, and Epping for 5 
years. ‘These calculations, and also those respecting Carlisle, are 
founded on too small a number of deaths to be regarded a safe crite- 
rion, and particularly the proportion of centenarians, here exhibited, 
doubtless much exceeds, in both these cases, the general average ; 
but with regard to the other ages, the deviation from the general law 
may not, perhaps, be very great. The column relating to New 
Hampshire, it will be geen, indicates a much greater expectation 
of life than either of the others. 
*¢ Carlisle,” says Mr. Milne, ‘* is probably one of the healthiest 
towns in England for its size. ‘The law of mortality in it, proba- 
bly differs very little from the general law throughout the king- 
dom, taking the towns and country together, if we except children 
under 5 years of age, or at most under 10.” 
By this table it would seem, that in the expectation of life, 
Philadelphia ranks below London and Montpellier, with regard 
to the principal results; although, in the proportion of cente- 
narians, it ranks above London, both in this table and in the 
preceding one. 
The following Table shows what proportion of the deaths in several countries 
and cities are of persons of ‘70 years of age and upwards; and also of 
90 and upwards.
