1. We have by the number of burials in healthful years, and by the
proportion of the living to those who die yearly, as also by the
number of houses and families within the 134 parishes called London,
and the estimate of the heads in each, pitched upon the number of
people in that city to be at a medium 695,718.

2. We have, by allowing that at Paris above 80,000 families, viz.,
81,280, do live in 23,223 houses, 32 palaces, and 38 colleges, or
that there are 81,280 kitchens within less than 24,000 street doors;
as also by allowing 30 heads for every one that died necessarily
there; we have pitched upon the number of people there at a medium
to be 488,055, nor have we restrained them to 300,000, by allowing
with Monsieur Auzout 6 heads for each of Moreri's 50,000 houses or
families.

3. To Amsterdam we allow 187,350 souls, viz., 30 times the number
of their burials, which were 6,245 in the year 1685.

4. To Venice we allow 134,000 souls, as found there in a special
account taken by authority, about ten years since, when the city
abounded with such as returned from Candia, then surrendered to the
Turks.

5. To Rome we allow 119,000 Christians, and 6,000 Jews, in all
125,000 souls, according to an account sent thither of the same by
Monsieur Auzout.

6. To Dublin we allow (as to Amsterdam) 30 times its burials, the
medium whereof for the last two years is 2,303, viz., 69,090 souls.
