fequently there are about 3 74 fewer, and the num- 
ber of houles within the city walls is about 1 1 5*03 ; 
which being multiplied by 6, gives 69018, for the 
number of inhabitants ; which is nearly equal to 
the burials 2290 multiplied by 30, or 68700 5 
taking the burials at a medium for ten years, and 
adding 400 as above. 
The number of houfes within the bills may 
then be nearly come at, from the number of burials. 
For if we take the number of burials, for the laft 
ten years, at an average, within the city to be 1 890, 
and add 400, which makes 2290, we may fay, if 
2290 comes from 11503 houfes, then the whole 
number 24947 burials within the bills, having 
allowed 2000 as above, mufl come from 125302 
houfes. And there cannot be fewer 5 for there are 
more burials within the city, in proportion to the 
baptifms, than in the out-parifhes 5 and therefore 
more burials in proportion to the number of houfes 5 
which fhews that the number of houfes cannot be 
lefs than 125302 5 which being multiplied by 6, 
will give 771812, for the number of people for this 
prefent time 5 and it is nearly equal to the number 
748350 found above. So that the numbers pro- 
duced from thefe two methods being almoft equal, 
this is fome farther proof that our fuppofition of fix 
perfons to a houfe, empty and full, is near to the 
truth. But if we fuppofe, that the number of houfes 
within the walls is now the fame, as in Mr. Smart’s 
time, 118775 then all the houfes within the bills 
will be 129158, and the number of people 774948 
greater than 748350, found above, by 265985 which 
is not much in fuch calculations.
