the walls of London, and at large within the bills : 
for I thought that within the city walls, where the 
number of houfes is nearly known, the baptifms and 
burials might be very ufeful to reafon upon, concern- 
ing the whole inhabitants both within and without. 
And becaufe it may be furer, to compute from a num- 
ber of years taken at an average, than from the num- 
bers in any one year as they ftand in the bills ; I have 
taken the fums of the numbers, for each five years of 
the fifty, and then the fifth part of each of thefe fums $ 
which will at a medium be the number for any par- 
ticular year. And in like manner, I have taken the 
fums of the numbers for each ten years, and the tenth 
part of each of the fums will be the number for any 
year, at an average. And the numbers fo found will 
appear thus :
