Excluding the years 1780 to 1792, on account of the change in the value of money which took place about that time, as before observed, the average mor- tality in seven manufacturings counties will stand thus:— njiiiv.

In fact, it is easy to imagine that an increase in the effective income of the manufacturing labourer, if it serves to encou- rage habits of idleness and intemperance, may contribute to shorten instead of prolonging life. It need not surprise us, therefore, that the rate of mortality should appear somewhat higher in cheap years than in ordinary years, even in the manufacturing districts.
