The date affixed to each perfon’s name 
is the year they died in, except in five or 
fix inftances, in which the time of their 
deceafe not being afcertained, the lateft 
year is given in which they were known 
to be living. Of other accounts, which 
for different reafons have not been included 
in the lift, the following may deferve to be 
-mentioned ; John Dance of Virginia, who 
died at f25; Rice, a cooper in Southwark, 
125; John Jacob, of Mount Jura, who 
died a few years fince, aged 128 ; Jeremy 
Gilbert, who died at Lutton, Northamp- 
tonfhire, aged 1325 Nicholas Petours, 
canon and treafurer of the Cathedral of 
Coutance in Normandy, aged 137 ; a man 
named Fairbrother, living in 1770 at 
Wigan in Lancafhire, aged 138; the 
Countefs of Defmond, whe died in Ireland 
Table of Longevity. 
795 
at 140; Henry Weft, of Upton in Glou- 
cefterfhire, who lived to 152 5 a peafant in 
Poland, who died in 1762, in the 157th 
year of his age ; and a Mulatto man whe 
died in Frederick town in 1797, faid to 
have beeiy 180 years old. 
Of the above number only 33 are femares, 
which ftrongly confirms theremark of Dr. - 
Hufeland, that the equilibrium and pliabi-’ 
lity of the female body feems, for a certain 
time, to give it more durability, and to ren- 
der it lefs fufceptible of injury from de- 
ftructive influences than that of men ; ‘but 
that male ftrength is, witheut doubt, ne- 
ceffary to arrive at a very great age. More 
women, therefore, become old, but fewer 
very old; and if the regifters of mortality, 
from which tables of the prebability of the 
duration of human life are formed, were 
more extenfive, and comprehended a great- 
er number of years, fo as to include thefe 
inftances of great longevity, the difference 
between the value of male and female lives 
would appear lefs than it is fuppofed to 
be, and probably the fum ‘of life of the 
whole of each fex approaches very nearly | 
to equality. 
The 104 perfons in the above lift were, 
at the time of their deceafe, inhabitants of 
the following countries : 
England 41 Portugal z 
Wales 4 Italy — 
Scotland 16 Turkey — 4& 
Treland 24 Welt Indies 2 
Norway 2 South America 3

France 4 
The great proportion of inhabitants of 
Great Britain and Ireland, though per- . 
haps arifing in fome meafure from in- 
{tances of great age not being fo generally 
noticed and recorded in other places, at 
leaft fhews that thefe countries are not 
unfavourable to longevity, and there can 
be little dowbt that the ufual duration of 
life is greater in temperate climates than 
in the extremes of heat or cold.
