Extract

No mortality curve appears yet to have been devised which both fits the national statistics at all ages, and also has a simple philosophical explanation. The object of this paper may be stated as being the building up of a new mortality curve from its component parts, as many as possible of these parts having a philosophical background, and the whole being applicable to the national data.
