" Our autbor ' s doctrines are that there is probably no fixed limit to our existence , or that , if there is , few attain to it , or few really die of old age , ( p . xiii . ) The tables appended record that of 6201 individuals who exceeded 100 years of age , whilst 1519 attained 110 , eleven advanced to 150 years of age . Dr . Van Oven believes ( after making all allowances for error and exaggeration ) his tables to justify a fair presumption that human life might endure much longer than it usually does , and to encourage the exertions of those who desire to promote healthy longevity .
