The object of this paper is to estimate levels of life expectancy in Spain during the second half of the eighteenth century. The author uses a method developed by S. H. Preston and N. G. Bennett that permits estimation of life expectancies using information on the age distribution at two points in time plus age-specific growth rates between those points. The data are from the censuses of 1768 1787 and 1797. Comparisons are made with estimates derived from quasi-stable population theory. (EXCERPT)
