And in 27 London workhouse infirmaries (Table VI.), amongst which deaths took place, having 9,411 deliveries in five years, there were 93 deaths from all causes. The death-rate was 9·8 per 1,000.[6] TABLE VI.—_Mortality after Childbirth in Five Years, up to the end of 1865, in Forty London Workhouse Infirmaries in which Deliveries took place._ (_Abstracted from Report on Metropolitan Workhouses._) ┌────────────────────┬─────────┬──────────┬─────────┬───────────┬──────┬──────┐ │ Deliveries │ Deaths│ Deaths │ Deaths │Deaths from│Deaths│Total │ │ │ from│ from │ from │Consumption│ from │Deaths│ │ │Puerperal│Accidents │Miasmatic│ and Chest │ all │ │ │ │ Diseases│ in │Diseases │ Diseases │Other │ │ │ │ │Childbirth│ │ │Causes│ │ ├────────────────────┼─────────┼──────────┼─────────┼───────────┼──────┼──────┤ │27 workhouses: 9,411│ 39│ 20│ 0│ 15│ 19│ 93│ │13 „ 2,459│ 0│ 0│ 0│ 0│ 0│ 0│ └────────────────────┴─────────┴──────────┴─────────┴───────────┴──────┴──────┘ The City of London Lying-in Institution, during ten years, 1859–1868, had 4,966 deliveries, and 54 deaths—a rate of 10·9 per 1,000.

But, if we take the years 1828–1861, with 63,621 deliveries, we find that the deaths were 924, and the death-rate only 14·5 per 1,000—the average annual number of deliveries being almost as many thousands as in Queen Charlotte’s Hospital were hundreds.
