The district of Maine, which, in the table formed to illustrate 
the period from 1790 to 1800, was found to have all the incre- 
ments of its different ages inferior to those of Vermont, will be 
found, in the preceding table, to have some of its increments 
superior, and some inferior, to the corresponding rates of in- 
crease in the latter state. In the male and female increments 
linder ten, a remarkable superiority will be perceived to exist in 
the district of Maine ; and so also in the male class of sixteen and 
Necker informs us, that the number of births is in proportion to that of the inha- 
bitants as one to twenty-three and twenty-four, in the districts that are not favour- 
ed by nature, nor by moral circumstances : this proportion is as one to twenty-fi ve, 
twenty-five and a half, and twenty-six, in the greatest part of France ; in cities, 
as one to twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, and even thirty, according to 
their extent and trade. Such proportions, Necker observes, can only be remarked 
in districts where there are no settlers nor emigrants ; but even the differences ari- 
sing from these , and many other causes , acquire a kind of uniformity , when collec- 
tively considered , and in thei immense extent of so great a kingdom .”
