In reviewing this last series of Tables, we find that they all concur in demonstrating the superior longevity of the inhabitants of this district, when unaffected by the influence of mining. They, at the same time, confirm the results of the two former series of Tables, as to the great mortality among the population of this district in the earlier and middle periods of life, except in the three Landsend parishes.
