VITAL STATISTICS OF THE SOCIETY OF
FRIENDS.

At a recent meeting of the members of the Brit
Isb Statistical Society, Mr.. Fox read a curious and
interesting paper on the vital statistics Of
the Society Of frien1s, in which was shown
thu relative numbers Of the members of
the Society, male and female, at different
periods, principally during the present century.
The Society has existed for upwards of zoo years,
but it hasiduripg the last forty been rapidly decreas'
ing, the progress of which decrease, and some OF
its causes were pointed out and explained by MIR.
Fox. The total number Of Quakers in the United
Kingdom, male and female, in lS40. was 1900,
of whom about 8, 900 were in Ireland, and q very
small portion in Scotland. In lS47, the numbers
baS diminished to $4,000, the principal decrease
being among the female members The Society
mustered in great strength in King Charles reign
during which period there were 1890 marriages
In a year, whilst from 1850 to 1856 the marriages
amounted annually to ouiy 628. During the pre-
cedin,g Is years the yearly average had been $50.
Up to the year 1889 many persons had associated
themselves with the Society Of FrieRds and were
reekoued members of the body who were not
strictly Quakers, bu. in that year membership was
mole clearly defined, and that occssioned a great
nominal diminution of the Society, though the at
tendance at their places Of worship was rot de-
creased. After that time a more strict attention
vas paid TO the conditions Of admission, and to con
tinuauee Of membership. and the cesessions owing
10 marrying out of the Society made one principal
osuss Of the dwindling away of the body. The
following table, showing the annual number Of
deaths Of males and females proportional to the
births in 100. in successive periods of ten years
each from 1900, speaks conclvsively to the dimin
ishing numbers ef the body: aG

WAS HE INSANEf

DR.. Wayne, Of the New York Medical College,
in a lecture upon the importance to the medical
profession of a careful study of legal insanity, with
a view to their often being called to give testimo.
ny on very difficult and delicate questions, quotes
the following well put case from Knagg's work on
unsoundness Of mind
"Thero was an old man well known in London
during the last century, who was of an ungainly
appearance, and subject to occasional attacks of
hereditary melancholy. So inconsistent was he in
habits, that sometimes he ~practioed great Austen I.
iousness, and at other times he devoured large
meals with british slovenliness and voracity; some.
times he would presist in drinking nothing but
water, but occasionally drank vine by tumblers
full his income was far from large, and not Of a
certain amount, yet he kent a set of old men and
women about his house, whose chickering's and dis.
agreement now and then drove him out of doors
he was in general very loquaoious, but he has been
known to sit in company and drink a dozen cups
of tea without speaking a syllable when not on
gagged in discoursing, it was his custom to keep
muttering to himself; in walking he performed a
strange gesticulations, and would not 20 in at a
door unless he could effect his entry in a certain
preconceived number of steps, and SO as to intro.
duce himself on a particular foo:-turning back
and recommending until be succeeded as be de.
sired. There was q row Of posts near his house,
which he would not pass without touching singly,
and if he omitted one in the series he retraced his
steps to remedy the neglect he boarded up or
ange skins for some mysterious purpose he would
never divulge he suffered a renorse of conscience
for having taken milk in his coffee on Good Fri
day, he believed in ghosts, and went gho,t-hunt
ing 10 Cock Lane and maintained that be heard
his mother calling for hin by name 10 the other
world. Yet DR.. johnson was so far from insane,
that, by common consent. he was regarded as the
most vigorous thinker and greatest sage gf the
time"
