$LONGEVITY. In reference to the Table of Ages for Glasgow, narrated in page 21, it is proper to remark, that two of the fe- males above 100 years of age, were Irish, and were not more than 10 years in Glasgow, and that in one short year, from the time the list was taken up, the whole six persons above 100 years, residing in G]asgow, had paid the debt of nature. It is remarkable, that with the ex- ception of one person in the adjoining Parish of Govan, there were none other in the whole of the populous County of Lanark, who had arrived at the age of 100 years; and it is no less remarkable, that one of the Glasgow females above 100 years,, had lived in, or kept a public house, partly under ground, for nearly the one-half of her life. The following classification of the inhabitants of Glas- gow and its connected Suburbs into Town and Landward Population, may be of use to the constructor of annuity tables, and the framer of constitutions for benefit societies in large Towns, where some of the inhabitants breathe a dense atmosphere, and others a purer air. For the data from which the following Table is formed, reference is made to the Enumeration Abstract for the year 1819- Classification of the Inhabitants into T&ivn and Landivard. Town. Landward.
