13330Letter One: 33 St James's Square London; 16 January no year. Letter Two: Palermo Italy 20 June no year. On 28 February 1885 The Times announced the death of Eber 'for many years our valued correspondent at Vienna'; and a hundred years later 24 September 1985 the same paper described Eber as 'the condottiere-journalist General Ferdinand Eber whose habit of engaging in wars as well as reporting them earned him the displeasure of his masters in Printing House Square'. Both items in good condition on lightly-aged paper with slight damage from previous mounting. Both addressed to 'My dear Wreford' and both written in a difficult hand. Letter One: 3pp. 12mo. He has 'received the Corals all safe' but has been 'out of town for the last month so had no opportunity of inspecting them'. He considers them 'beautiful in both colour and shape and above all ridiculously cheap' although he has had 'some difficulty in calculating the 11 fr. 47 ct. in English money. After long and intricate calcuations the nearest I could get was 9 shillings and sixpence'. Turning to The Times he writes: 'You know at Printing. House. Square. they only pay attention to what is of immediate importance so you must not be surprized that they don't care much about Italy at the moment. However I am very much mistaken if they have not to take up the subject very shortly.' He is 'again preparing to go out there and should like to take a run in a private capacity to your part of the world i.e. Naples but I fear I shall not be able to manage it.' Letter Two: 3pp. 8vo. The letter which Wrexford sent 'by a Neapolitan channel' is probably 'lost or has fallen into the wrong hands'. He describes 'a bit of shell' which he is sending him. 'The portrait of Garibaldi is not ready yet' and he will 'send it by sic the first opportunity together with the Autograph although it is almost cruel to ask the general for one. . We are here busy organizing and arming so you must moderate your craving for stirring <units>. They will come soon enough.' He wishes to correct a rumour: 'I don't know who circulated the news that people here won't have the <accession>. In the first instance they want what Garibaldi wants and then independently of this you see the Vogliamo l'Accessione al Regno al Regno costituzionale di Vittorio Emanuelle II on every door and over every shop. All the songs speak of him and Garibaldi. On the contrary the difficulty will probably be to keep them back for it is important to stick to the <> Sicily and we will hope soon Naples <likewise> have risen against a Govt abhorred by every one and are doing what they can to upset it. No one can interfere <thus> while no political question is mixed up with the thing. Let us therefore cast all speculation aside and wait for events. When Garibaldi <> an Italian policy on the part of Naples intimate alliances will <> Italy and Constitution would have been sufficient now no one would listen to it. Then things were at par now our shares are at premium.' He considered 'going off with a column into the Interior' but has decided to remain 'a little while longer at Palermo'. In a postscript he writes: 'This letter newspapers and shell go by Agamemnon who will take some days to go there so I prefer sending the letters via Malta.' Letter One: 33 St James's Square, London; 16 January [no year]. Letter Two: Palermo, Italy, 20 June [no year]. unknown
12939Letter One: on letterhead of the Gallery of Illustration 14 Regent Street London. 24 December 1863. Letter Two: 'Sat. S. C.'. Letter One: 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. With decorative letterhead in red. Very good on lightly-aged paper. Addressed to 'My dear Old DD' and 'E. D. Davis'. He realises that Davis is in 'a precious state of mind' and will only send 'a few lines to exchange domestic greetings of kindliness & good fellowship from the circle of Balham to the Square in N'Castle - the waters of the Thames mingle with those of the Tyne'. A few words put to music follow with a lighthearted quotation from the novel 'Valentine Vox': 'Mynheer Vandunk who never got drunk - sipped brandy & water gaily "cold without" Railly!' He concludes: '"Cold Without & Warm within" Wishing you & yours all the enjoyment due at this festive demise of the old year 1863 & continued prosperity with the birth of the New Year 1864'. Postscript: 'Have you or Mrs D. been robbing Noah's Ark We'll try to consume it - the contents I mean. Not the ark or hamper. signed T G R'. The words 'Business Bad' alone on reverse of second leaf. Letter Two: 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. Diagonal section cut away from both leaves with loss of text; otherwise good on lightly-aged paper. Addressed to 'My dear Old DD'. He begins by discussing 'a great big chesnut mare' which has been 'placed at my disposal for paying her keep': 'I don't know anything of her fencing qualities but shall find out in a day or so - al about it'. He is 'waiting till the end of the hunting season' before writing: 'I don't consider this a letter only an intermezzo or parenthesis'. He has been 'suffering from pains in the back beginning with lumbago & in the legs to such an extent that I can scarcely walk erect - Whats the remedy My Northern Esculapius - Eh' He concludes: 'When are you coming to town You'll miss all the parts if you don't come soon - We must! We shall! We Will! have one more run. And become gay. And become gay become gay to make our vitals good!!!' He ends with a few bars setting these final words to music and signs 'T'. Letter One: on letterhead of the Gallery of Illustration, 14 Regent Street [London]. 24 December 1863. Letter Two: 'Sat. S. C.' unknown

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.
