* * * * * LONGEVITY.
Since we published the examples of longevity, collected by the editor of the Medical Adviser, we have seen another list, which is _supposed_ to comprise all, which can be found from the year 66 to 1799.
The number of those who lived from _one hundred_ and _seventy_ to _one hundred_ and _eighty-five_ years is 3; from _one hundred_ and _sixty_ to _one hundred_ and _seventy_, 2; from _one hundred_ and _fifty_ to _one hundred_ and _sixty_, 3; from _one hundred_ and _forty_ to _one hundred_ and _fifty_, 7; from _one hundred_ and _thirty_ to _one hundred_ and _forty_, 26; from _one hundred_ and _twenty_ to _one hundred_ and _thirty_, 84; from _one hundred_ and _ten_ to _one hundred_ and _twenty_, 277; from _one hundred_ to _one hundred_ and _ten_, 1310.
Total of those who survived a century, _Seventeen hundred and twelve_.----This writer could not have included in his list the examples of longevity which Russia furnished, for we frequently find in the bills of mortality of this country for a single year, twice the number of centenarians.
We have before us the table of deaths for 1813, which gives the following remarkable ages.

Chapter 1 of The Olden Time Series, Vol. 6 by Henry M. (Henry Mason) Brooks holds 394 sentences, grouped into 79 reading sections of at most 5 sentences. The text is the source edition, unabridged, and the chapter records which sentences cover which part of the work so that nothing is dropped. Every word can be tapped for its pronunciation and dictionary entry.

What does chapter 1 of The Olden Time Series, Vol. 6 contain?

Chapter 1 holds 394 sentences of The Olden Time Series, Vol. 6, unabridged, divided into 79 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 1 of The Olden Time Series, Vol. 6 by Henry M. (Henry Mason) Brooks exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 394 sentences, grouped into 79 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces. The chapter also stores a coverage record mapping every one of its sentences to a part of the work, which is how the edition demonstrates that no line was dropped.

How do I study chapter 1 of The Olden Time Series, Vol. 6?

Work through the 79 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 79 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 1 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 1 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.
