About this sample
A 26-page sample from William Black's Comparative View of the Mortality of the Human Species (1788). The book is mostly number tables. Tables use three horizontal rules, figures aligned by digit and small-cap headings, with group headings over city and country columns. A large table runs landscape across three pages with repeated headings. Small charts drawn from the table figures show trends, and one chart compares all seven life tables.
