Two 18th Century Scientific Papers on The Human Life Expectancy

1754315Life expectancy 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. WikipediaThe 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: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. 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. The item is a First Edition extracted and disbound from The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society Vol. 48 For the Year 1753 pages 239-252. This volume of the Transactions was published in London in 1754.A Letter to the Rev. Dr. William Brakenridge Rector of St. Michael Bassishaw London and F.R.S. concerning the Term and Period of Human Life: In which the inequalities in constructing and the false Conclusions drawn from Dr. Halley's Breslau Table are fully proved; the supposed extraordinary Healthfulness of that Place is particularly examined and confuted; and its real State equated by divers Place in England; the imperfection of all the Tables formed upon 1000 Lives is shewn; and a Method proposed to obtain one much better: By T. W. A.M. London: Philosophical Transactions 1763. The ability to improve life expectancy tables as more data and more recent information is considered is demonstrated in this paper. The item is a First Edition extracted and disbound from the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society This volume Vol. 52 For the Years 1761 & 1762 pages 46-70. This volume was published in 1763.The illustrations accompanying this description show the first page of each paper. Royal Society's Philosophical Transactions paperback

[The Morning Chronicle, and London Advertiser] [Siege of Savannah] [American Revolution] [Georgia]Biblio.com

The Morning Chronicle and London Advertiser. Monday December 27 1779. Siege of Savannah news

177936790London: Printed by W. Woodfall 1779. First Edition. Newspaper. Good. Newspaper. Single issue removed from a larger gathering. Approximately 18" x 11.5". 4 pages. Three columns. Paper is closely trimmed on the top and side margins with minor loss of print. Print is faded in areas with a few spots to the paper. This issue devotes 3 pages to the Battles and Siege of Savannah in the fall of 1779. The first page has two columns regarding the Siege. An article titled "Extract of a Letter from Major-General Prevost commanding his Majesty's forces in the Province of Georgia to the Right Honourable Lord George Germain one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State dated Savannah November 1 1779: received by Captain Shaw Aid de Camp to Major General Prevost. Prevost states ".the very unexpected visit of the Count d' Estaing to this coast with powerful a squadron and considerable body of land troops when known would have excited some uneasiness for our safety; it is with very sincere pleasure I do my self the honour to inform you that we have seen the last of the French fleet this day depart we hope off the coast - got them and their American allies off our hands." A daily account of the events is printed on the first page from September 4 to the 24th. The second page is completely covered with the Battle and has entries from September 25 to October 11. Between October 11 and the 18th Prevost writes about removing the women and children to safety; about the fog; Battle lines; cannon fire; the number of forces lost on the enemy side; a truce to bury the dead and care for the wounded including d' Estaing and General Pulaski who later died from his wounds on the 18th etc. The paper also includes 10 translated letters from Prevost Estaing and one letter signed by General Lincoln and d' Estaing. On page 3 is a list of the causalities of the battle. The American-French Allied forces were badly beaten at the Siege of Savannah and the British continued occupied Savannah until the end of the Revolution. From American Battlefields dot org: In 1778 British policymakers and strategists decided to refocus their efforts on the southern colonies where they believed the crown would enjoy the support of a large Loyalist population. As part of that effort a British army under Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Campbell captured the city of Savannah Georgia on December 29 1778 . In the fall of 1779 the Americans were determined to take the city back. American forces in the region numbering between 5000 and 7000 men were based in Charleston South Carolina under the command of General Benjamin Lincoln. Lincoln recognized that to recapture Savannah he would need assistance from the French military. On September 3 he learned that Charles Hector Comte d'Estaing was en-route to Savannah bringing with him a fleet of warships and 4000 French soldiers. On September 11 Lincoln left Charleston with a force of his own intent on linking up with d'Estaing. Arriving first d'Estaing began offensive operations against the city on September 16. When fully assembled the Allied force numbered over 5000 men. Defending Savannah was a force of more than 3000 men under the command of General Augustine Prevost. On the morning of October 9 the Franco-American Allies launched a major assault. Fog shrouded the battlefield impeding forward progress. Troops became lost in the swamps fronting the Spring Hill Redoubt the Allied objective. d'Estaing had selected the Spring Hill Redoubt under the mistaken impression that it was lightly defended by local Loyalist militia. In reality the Loyalist militia was backed by battle-hardened British Regulars. When the fog lifted the French lines were fully exposed crumbling in the face of a withering and incessant fire from the redoubt's defenders. d'Estaing himself was wounded twice while personally leading the attack. Mortally wounded in the assault was the Polish cavalry mastermind Casimir Pulaski who had done much to shape the mounted forces of the Continental Army. He was shot while trying to lead his horseman through a temporary breach in the British line. During the attack on the Spring Hill Redoubt the Allies lost roughly 1000 men. The British suffered only 150 casualties. An hour after leading his forces forward d'Estaing called off the attack recognizing its futility. A week later the French commander sailed away leaving Lincoln behind and the Franco-American Alliance strained. On October 18 Lincoln lifted the siege. Savannah would remain in British hands until the end of the war. Printed by W. Woodfall unknown
