another list, which is _supposed_ to comprise all, which can
be found from the year 66 to 1799. The number of those who
lived from _one hundred_ and _seventy_ to _one hundred_ and
_eighty-five_ years is 3; from _one hundred_ and _sixty_ to
_one hundred_ and _seventy_, 2; from _one hundred_ and
_fifty_ to _one hundred_ and _sixty_, 3; from _one hundred_
and _forty_ to _one hundred_ and _fifty_, 7; from _one
hundred_ and _thirty_ to _one hundred_ and _forty_, 26; from
_one hundred_ and _twenty_ to _one hundred_ and _thirty_,
84; from _one hundred_ and _ten_ to _one hundred_ and
_twenty_, 277; from _one hundred_ to _one hundred_ and
_ten_, 1310. Total of those who survived a century,
_Seventeen hundred and twelve_.----This writer could not
have included in his list the examples of longevity which
Russia furnished, for we frequently find in the bills of
mortality of this country for a single year, twice the
number of centenarians. We have before us the table of
deaths for 1813, which gives the following remarkable ages.
One 165;--three 135;--one 130;--fifteen 125;--thirty-three
from 115 to 120;--fifty-three from 110 to 115;--one hundred
and twenty-seven from 100 to 105;--fourteen hundred from 95
to 100;--two thousand eight hundred and forty-nine from 90
to 95;--four thousand four hundred and fifty-one from 85 to
90. Whole number of deaths 971,338.
