They have accordingly been examined for three complete years, 1838, 1839, and 1840, and it is found that the same general law of mortality obtains with little variation for each period. As the climate or soil of that county might possess some peculiarities, I caused an examination to be made of the average periods of death amongst the agricultural population of all the unions in the county of Wilts during 1840. In this examination the registries of deaths in the towns were excluded, and only those of persons included who were described as agricultural labourers, or as farmers and graziers, or as gentry and professional persons resident in the rural districts. The results of this examination are as follow:— No. of UNIONS IN THE COUNTY OF WILTS. Average Deaths. Age of Deceased. 119 Gentlemen and persons engaged in professions, and their families 50 years. 218 Farmers and their families 48 2,061 Agricultural labourers and their families 33 The following table exhibits the mortality prevalent amongst the different classes, partly mining and manufacturing, and partly agricultural, returned by the clerk of the Kendal union:— No. of KENDAL UNION. Average Deaths. Age of Deceased.
