Probabilities and Causes: On Life Tables, Causes of Death, and Etiological Diagnoses

Causes of death began to be recorded by London parishes as early as 1592: “the occasion of keeping an accompt of burials arose first from the plague”, said John Graunt [1662, §1]. From 1629 on, the London Bills of Mortality gave detailed weekly returns of diseases and casualties enumerated in alphabetical order (lists of 60 to 70 causes). The registration of causes of every person’s death became mandatory in England under the 1837 Registration Act.
