Softcover. Condition: New. 28 pages, printed nearly A4 size, almost twice the scale of the 22 original tables, making them easier to read and ideal for page-by-page comparison. Reproduced in colour to preserve the tone and look of the rare original pages. A remarkable forty year span of printed mortality records, chronicling bir…ths, deaths, diseases, and urban casualties across Georgian and Regency London. These annual single page tables offer a rare, continuous glimpse into the city's demographic rhythms and medical anxieties before the rise of modern public health. Each Bill lists causes of death in vivid, often archaic terminology: Consumption, Convulsions, Childbed, Rising of the Lights, and Grief sit alongside Drowned, Executed, Overlaid, and Bit by a Mad Dog. Later entries include age-at-death tables and comparative disease statistics, revealing both continuity and change in London's mortality landscape. A powerful resource for historians, genealogists, and collectors of early medical ephemera - rich in atmosphere, language, and statistical insight. Size: A4 (21 x 30 cms approx.).

First edition of this complete annual sequence of the London bills of mortality for 20 December 1664 to 19 December 1665, issued at the height of the Great Plague. First instituted in 1592 and placed under the control of the Worshipful Company of Parish Clerks in 1611, the bills formed the essential statistical substrate for Joh…n Graunt's Natural and Political Observations Made upon the Bills of Mortality (1662), the foundational work of modern medical statistics. Graunt (1629-1674), a member of the Common Council of London, had analysed mortality data for several years before publishing his seminal study, which had already reached its second edition (with a third in press) by 1665. Wing attributes London's Dreadful Visitation to "John Graunt of Bucklersbury", an author of religious tracts but not of statistical works; this is almost certainly a misattribution for the celebrated statistician. Most bibliographies cite the work anonymously. The work was printed for the Parish Clerks' Company by Ellen (Eleanor) Cotes (active 1652-70), widow and executor of Richard Cotes, the City of London's official printer. Surveyed in 1668, she was operating three presses with two apprentices and nine pressmen at the Barbican. Both she and her husband produced notable medical books illustrated with large anatomical plates, including translations of works by Ambroise Paré and Adriaan van de Spiegel. Cotes contributed the prefatory note, "The Printer to the Reader" ("I am a Printer no Preacher"). Two issues are distinguished by title-page dating: one, as here, begins "the 20th. of December"; the other "the 27th. of December". Although the folding table is described in the title as integral, Goldsmiths' catalogues it separately as a broadside (nos. 1759 and 1760, the latter with mourning border). While not exceptionally rare, copies are typically found worn, defective, or lacking the folding table; sound examples are uncommon. Bound up with it are two scarce related broadsides and a copy of Roger Drake, Sacred Chronologie (1648), pp. [44]; ESTC R206239. Further details of these are available on request. Garrison-Morton 5119 (27th issue); Goldsmiths' 1761 (27th); Kress 1160 (27th); Norman 1386 (27th); Wing G-1598A (issue not differentiated). Small quarto (222 x 172 mm). Folding table at rear, titled "A general Bill for this present year ending the 19th of December 1665.". Title page text set within a thick black woodcut border decorated with memento mori motifs, including a skull-and-crossbones crowned with a winged hourglass under a banner lettered "Memento mori", plus bones, picks and spades, and full skeletons, and three coats of arms above the imprint; woodcut headpieces, initials; arms of the Parish Clerk's Company running throughout. Bound with 3 other items in late 18th-century continental half parchment, marbled boards, labelled "Pot Pourri" and numbered "2" in black. Spine ends lightly rubbed, front joint largely cracked but board still holding firmly; blank upper margin of title a little creased, very occasional light spotting or rust marks; an excellent copy, with several uncut edges.
