The bill, meticulously compiled by John Graunt, an eminent figure in demography and statistics from 17th century Britain, provides valuable insights into the devastating impact of this deadly disease on society. Graunt's groundbreaking statistical analysis was based on these weekly and yearly tables, offering a comprehensive overview of the mortality rates during that time. This historical document serves as a testament to his pioneering work in understanding population dynamics amidst epidemics.
