1754315<p><strong>Life expectancy</strong> is a statistical measure of how long a person or organism may live based on the year of thei birth yheir current age and other demographic factors including gender. At a given age life expectancy is the average number of years that is likely to be lived by a group of individuals of age xexposed to the same mortality conditions until they die.Mathematically life expectancy is the mean number of years of life remaining at a given age assuming constant mortality rates.Longevity and life expectancy are not synonyms. Life expectancy is defined statistically as the average number of years remaining for an individual or a group of people at a given age Longevity refers to the characteristics of the relatively long life span of some members of a population. Moreover because life expectancy is an average a particular person may well die many years before or many years after their "expected" survival. The term "maximum life span"has a quite different meaning and is more related to longevity. Wikipedia</p><p>The methodology for determining life expectncy has evolved over the years. The accuracy of the projections has a pronounced effect on both the societal and economic interests of individuals and governments. The two papers here descibe some of the work done in the 18th century to evaluate and improve the estimates of life expectancy. The two papers are:</p><p><strong>A View of the Relation between the celebrated Dr. Halley's Tables and the Notions of Mr. De Buffon for establishing a Rule for the probable Duration of the Life of Man; by Mr. William Kerssboom of the Hague. Translated from the French by James Parsons M. D. and F.R.S. </strong>London: Philosophical Transaction 1754. The preparation of statistical tables to predict life expectancy was performed by competing analysts. In this paper Mr. Kerssboom compares several tables to determine why they differ from each other.

14897London. 6 March 1828. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition on lightly-aged paper with slight loss at the head of the second leaf affecting a couple of words of text. The letter begins: My dear Sir I have on different occasions interfered to prevent gross abuses at the Theatre to which you call my attention and have I believe to a certain degree procured their correction. But thhere is great reason to fear that by attempting too much more may be lost than gained. The interposition of Ecclesiastics always produces disposition to resistance in some quarters; if anything therefore is to bee done it must be through Laymen who come forward through zeal for the public good. It would undoubtedly be desirable to remove the possibility of any profane amusement encroaching on the sabbath'. He continues by stating that it is believed that 'the performances terminate at twelve' and that 'any attempt to change the day would not succeed - as the engagements of all the Performers at different places are framed with regard to the existing arrangement' and Saturday is the only day 'on which the Members of eithe rHouse can be sure of attending'. Consequently he cannot act the recipient's suggestion 'through apprehension of doing mischief'. Nor would he recommend any Clergyman to do so unless there was 'a strong disposition on the part of the public at large to second his endeavours'. London. 6 March 1828. unknown
