From this account it appears that at Northampton, though more males 
are bom than females, and nearly the same number die, yet the 
number of living females is greater than the number of males, in the 
proportion of 2301 to 1710, or 39 to 30. This cannot be accounted for 
without supposing that males are more short-lived than females. One 
obvious reason of this fact is, that males are more subject to untimely 
deaths, by accidents of various kinds, and also, in general, more addicted 
to the excesses and irregularities which shorten life. But this is by 
no means the only reason ; for it should be observed at Northampton 
the number of female children was, in 1146, greater than the number of 
male children, in the proportion of 159 to 624. The greater mortality 
of males, therefore, takes place among children. 
CARLISLE TABLE. 
On the Carlisle Table of Mortality, Milne, article 704. 
The following four tables, marked A, B, C, and D, have been deduced 
from a quarto tract, published at Carlisle in 1791, entitled, “ An Abridg 
ment of Observations on the Bills of Mortality in Carlisle, from the 
year 1119 to the year 1187 inclusive,” and also “A Catalogue of Cum 
berland Animals ; by John Heysham. M. D.”
