James Dodson,

Theology and Philosophy of Evil

Reverend Sir, As I have made a great many calculations, relative to Annuities on Lives, and have otherwise contributed, as much as was in my Power, to facilitate the performance of such, I thought it, almost, a duty incumbent on me, to compute the values of them according to your curious Table of the Decrements of Life, inserted in the Philosophical Transactions; accordingly I have inclosed a table of them, and if you find it will bear examination I desire you to communicate it the Royal Society, in order (if approved of) to its being inserted, as an appendix to your letter to the President.
