Something more on this subject will be found in a subsequent part of these Observations. [See p. xxvi.] The number of Females, between the Ages of 20 and 30, exceeds the corresponding number of Males as stated in every County (except Monmouth); and the higher ages of Females probably partake of the same fallacy, so far as to induce Calculators to rely on the Table of Male Ages only. They may also be induced to attach an inferior degree of credit to the Ages of Males as well as Females in Scotland, where is wanting in a great degree the Record of Parish Registers, and very advanced Ages cannot but rest on repute rather than on knowledge and evidence.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28406606_0026.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
