4. Registers of burial do not specify where a person died, as well as where he lived, nor his condition, whether single, married, or widowed.
5. There is no certificate provided, showing in what parish a person died, with other necessary particulars, as to age, the disease, &c.
6. A corpse may be removed from a parish within the bills of mortality of London to one without, and the burial be omitted in the returns.
7. There is no medical authority for ascertaining and certifying the nature of the disease of which a person died, &c.
8. The names of diseases in the bills of mortality are either unintelligible, or so arranged as to confound diseases very distinct in their characters.
9. In respect to ages, the periods are injudiciously divided; so that many of the purposes to which the bills are applicable in medical and political science are defeated.
10. The law enforcing the keeping of Registers is defective; and does not adequately regard political, civil, or medical information.
11. All parishes and places of worship within that circle denominated the bills of mortality of London, are not included in the weekly or general annual returns; nor is there any existing authority to enforce their being made, and regularly entered.
