"A copy of the earliest known Weekly Bill of Mortality. British Museum. Egerton MSS. 2603, f.4." IN: An inquiry into the trustworthiness of the old bills of mortality.

J. Roy. Stat. Soc., 55, 437-460, 1892.

On p. 452 of his paper Ogle reproduces in type "A copy of the earliest known Weekly Bill of Mortality. British Museum. Egerton MSS. 2603, f.4." Ogle states that Creighton attributed this manuscript bill of mortality to the year 1532, "in which year an Order of Council was issued calling on the mayor [of London] to furnish a bill of the deaths from plague." Bills of Mortality were not printed until 1603. Digital facsimile of Ogle's paper from Google Books at this link.
