214 Account of the Parifh of Kirkbyftepben, in Weftmoreland, { April 1, 
From the parith regifter is collected the following table of births and death, in the 
parith, from January 1, 1700, to December 31, 1800 ; and of Marriages, from 
all inclufive. 
From this table 1t appears, that the 
number of children produced, at an 
average, from every marriage, is about 
3.6. It is commonly fuppofed, that the 
annual averages of births are, in propor- 
tion to the total number of inhabitants, 
as 1 to 26; and of deaths, as r to 36, 
On a comparifon, however, of the annual 
number of births and deaths, from the year 
4791 to the year 1807, with the actual 
{tate of population in 1801, we find that 
the refpective proportions, during that 
period, were as 1 to 37.7 and 48.6. Confe- 
quently the number of births is to that of 
deaths, as 48.6 to 37.7 3 or nearly as sto 
3-9. ‘The proportion between the annual 
marriages and the whole population is 
early aS 1. to 141-2. ‘ 
. The town of Kirkbyftephen ‘has a con- 
fiderabie market-on Monday, weckly, and 
is noted. for the fale ofa great numbér of 
yarn and worfted ftockings, which are kait 
there and in the neighbourhood. Though 
it contains, as we have feen, upwards of 
ope thouiand fouls, has a grammar f{ehool, 
and is inhabited by many ref{pectable fa~ 
milies, there is neither public library, nor 
bookfeller’s fhop in the place, if we ex-
