Extract

1. A Short time back I transmitted to the Philosophical Society of Cambridge some remarks upon the construction of tables of annuities: my object in that paper was to show how the probabilities upon which annuities depend should be deduced from tables of mortality, and I gave in illustration some tables of annuities calculated from observations of the mortality at Chester, by Dr. Haygarth, which appear to have been made with very great care. I have since compared these tables with a great many others, and I now present the result of this comparison.
