Vol Dedudions from Bills of Mortalitij. 





o 



Hingham, Ipswicli, East Kingston, Dover, Portland, Ed 

 ton, Wallham, Aslibumliam, Brookfield, and Brimfield, they 

 have been made for a long course of years. And thou 

 wliicli liuve been ma.de from other places, are for a shorter term ; 

 yet, as they are from places very distant from one another, it 

 is presumed that the result, from a combination of the bills, 

 '^ill give a very just representation of the increasing popula- 

 tion of this state and Ne\Y-Hampshire, and the longevity 

 of their inhabitants. At least, it will exhibit more authen- 



\ 



tick evidence on the last of these subjects, than has, as yet, 

 been laid before the publick. Should there be any errour in 

 the deductions, there will be at least an approximation tow- 

 ards the truth ; and the table will give the probability, de- 

 crement, and expectation of life, among the inhabitants of 

 this state and New-Hampshire, with more accuracy, than has 

 yet been done. Any errours in the deductions may be cor- 

 rected, by taking the present result for the basis of a new com- 

 bmation with the bills, that may hereafter be communicated. 

 The whole number of deaths on the bills is 4893, which 

 happened at the following periods of life.
