☞ The List of DEATHS, during the months of August, Sep|tember, and October, the period within which the Fever was more or less violent, we have been careful to obtain, from the records of Mi|nisters, Sextons, &c. and though we have lists from some grave|yards not noticed, through hurry, in the public papers, still we do not find so many victims to the contagion, as appeared to be the ag|gregate reported by the public papers.—We refer to the different sources from which we obtained our information, for the authenticity of ours, in preference to others. Not, however, without liberally admitting, that it was owing to the confused state of the people who rendered lists—the vast trouble and time necessary for daily receiving them—and blunders of grave-diggers, particularly their reporting that bodies would be buried at one time that perhaps would not be interred for several hours after|wards; and so, perhaps, were enumerated twice. These observations we make, as a justification for our accuracy, that naturally, by com|parison, might be called in question.
