The results of the first of these tables by no means correspond 

 with those given in the Gleanings, and will not admit of very ready 

 comparison. The ratio of deaths, however, to the number of survivors 

 set down for each year in that article, has been calculated in order that 

 the extent of discrepance may be seen. But it strikes me, that there is 

 a fallacy in the Gleanings' Table, which, besides that there are errors in 

 the numbers assumed as above pointed out, must make it valueless for any
