Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations on Odd Fellow and Friendly Societies
Owing to the greater practical convenience of collecting and arranging the data as well as of subsequently applying the results to the more useful purpose of Friendly and Benefit Societies, the amount of sickness throughout the whole of this paper is invariably expressed under the denominatlon of weeks. For example, in Table I. Opposite the age of 35 and under the head Rural Districts, the decimal expression '8991 signifies that the average amount of sickness to each individual per annum is that fraction of a week. And again, opposite the same age in the column City Districts, the average amount of sickness to each person in the course of a year is weeks. When, however, it is required to change the expression to the more scientific denomination of the fraction of a year, that may be easily done by multiplying any of the results by '019165.
