1717, i7i 8, 1724, 1725 ^ ‘09 reached 90 years, 
that is, 48 in 10,000. But in London, for the 
laft 30 years, only 35 of the fame number have 
reached this age. At BreOaw it appears, by Dr. 
Halley’s Table, that 41 of 1238 born, or a 30th 
part, live to be 8 o years of age. In the panlh of 
in Northampton t, an account has been 
kept for many years of the ages at which all diej, 
and, I find, that of 1377, who died there in 13 
years, CQ have lived to be 80, or a 23d p^'t.^ 
According to Mr. Kerffeboom’s Table of 
tions, publiflied at the end of ihe laft edition of Mr. De 
Moivre’s Treatife on the Doiftrine of Chances, a 14th 
part of all that are born live to be 80 5 and, had we any 
obfervafions in coimtry paridies, this, probably, would 
not appear to be too high a pioportion ut in 
London, for the laft 30 years, only 25 oi every 1000

three- fifths’ of all who died in thefe years at Vienna were 
boys and girls, by whom, I foppofe, are meant perfons under 
16. About the fame proportion dies under 16 at lierlin,^ 
+ In this town, as in moft other towns of any magnituae, the 
births, including DilTenters, fall fhort of the burials j and the 
greater part die under age. _ , 1 
t This, however, will appear itfelf inconfiderable, when corn- 
pared with the following account; “In 1761, the burials in 
the diftria of Chiiftiana, in Norway, amounted to 6,929, and 
the chriftenings to 1 1,024. Among thofe who died, 394, 01 
1 in 18, had lived to the age of 90 ; 63 to the age of 100, an
