Secretary's Office, Boston,
December 30, 1854.
—To the Honorable Senate and House Hepresentativesof
I have the honor, agreeably with the laws of this Com-
monwealth, to submit to your honorable bodies the Twelfth
Annual Report relating to the Registry and Returns of
Bu'ths, Marriages and Deaths in Massachusetts for the year
ending on December 1853.31,
The Abstracts have been compiled and prepared, from
the original returns forwarded to this office, under the
active superintendence of Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, M.D.,
of Boston, who had charge of the Registration Report of the
last year, and to whom has been intrusted the preparation
of the concluding portion of the Report, embracing the
Results and Practical Observations.

More than usual attention lias been given in transmittino-
returns to this office
; and the number of those to^^ii officers
who have slighted their requu-ed duties, or failed entirely in
the peiformance of them, has been less than usual the past
year, and is yearly dimmishing. Nearly every toAvn and
city within the Commonwealth has come up to the mark
in promptness offorwarding their annual returns ; and were
it that a greater regularity and particularity existed in the
nomenclature of diseases, as registeredm the various districts
of the Commonwealth, there would be very little cause of
complaint in regard to the official returns that form the
fundamental material of this useful and interestmg docu-
ment.
The more perfectly the facts are obtamed in the several
towns, the more correct will be the Abstracts of Eegistra-
tion, and consequently the more confidence can be j)laced in
the results deduced from the tables. The improvement m
this respect that is conspicuous during the past year induces
the hope that sufficient enthusiasm prevails throughout the
State to maintam the reputation which the Massachusetts
Eegistration Eeports have acquired at home and abroad.
The present Report contains the accumulated results of
more than twelve years, and should, therefore, serve as a
fair criterion in America wherefrom to deduce facts relative
to vital and mortuary statistics as existing in this country.
The remarks are somewhat more extendedthan usual, partly
in consequence of paying more than customary attention to
certain topics at present exciting great interest in the com-
munity, and partly because of an unusually minute consid-
eration of some of the most prominent causes of death
throughout the Commonwealth, based upon more extensive
