By these comparisons, a noble national emulation might be excited, and rival nations would read of sickness diminished, deformity banished, life saved — of victories over death and the grave, — with as much enthusiasm as of victories over each other's armies in the field ; and the triumph of one would not be the humiliation of the other, for in this contention none...
Halaman 48 - ... and by a decrease in the number of burials ; consequently by an increase in the excess of the births above the deaths : Also, that any material rise in the price is generally attended by a corresponding decrease in the marriages and...
Halaman 122 - ... early. The deviation is too significant and too constant to be considered accidental. We are not able to explain it by any other supposition than by the circumstance that women feel internal hidden infirmities and defects in a higher degree than men, and have a presentiment of approaching danger in consequence of...
Halaman 14 - ... the health and condition of the people : for the longer life of a nation denotes more than it does in an individual — a happier life — a life more exempt from sickness and infirmity — a life of greater energy and industry — of greater experience and wisdom. By these comparisons, a noble national emulation might be excited, and rival nations would read of sickness diminished, deformity banished, life saved — of victories over death and the grave — with as much enthusiasm, as of victories...

Halaman 15 - English system and reflect that one individual, as heretofore remarked, presided over the census of 1801, 1811, 1821, and 1831. In Washington, as soon as an office acquires familiarity with statistics, and is educated to accuracy and activity, it is disbanded, and even the best qualified employee is suffered to depart.
Halaman 26 - ... interesting estimate with a near approximation to the truth, as we shall thus see. " It is clear that the difference between the whole population of 1840, and the part of the population of 1850 over ten years of age, would show the number of deaths in ten years, if the country had neither emigration nor immigration. The emigration, however, is insignificant, and the number of immigrants with their increase, we have now the means of ascertaining. But as our numbers in 1850 were augmented by the...
Halaman 187 - Lieccstershire ; while the drained streets may be old streets inhabited by the old inhabitants of the town.* " On account of the system of compensation which it involves, the method of comparing the total deaths to the population of the streets gives results nearer the truth ; but no one acquainted with inquiries of the kind would place much confidence in any other method, as applied to particular streets, or small districts, than that upon which the Life Table is founded — the comparison of the...
Halaman 28 - ... a year. As in computing the rate of mortality the deaths are compared with numbers beginning with 17,069,453, and gradually descending through the ten years to 14,915,193, we must take the medium between those numbers, which is 15,992,324. Now, if this number be divided by the annual deaths, 215,425.8, it will show the average annual mortality to be 1 in 74.2 in that part of the population which is over ten years of age. To ascertain the mortality of those...
Halaman 37 - The difference between this number and that of the whole free population is 9,243,811. If from this residue we deduct the tenants of the poor-houses, hospitals, jails, and penitentiaries, the superannuated and the children under fifteen, all of whom are either too young to work, are already employed or qualifying themselves for future employment, the remainder, constituting the voluntary idle and unproductive class, would be an inconsiderable portion of the community, as may be thus seen :— Whole...
