FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT.
_September 28th, 1852._
GENTLEMEN,
I beg leave to lay before your Hon. Court the several tables[74] which I
have prepared, to illustrate the mortality of the City of London during
the past year. They refer to fifty-two weeks, dating from September
28th, 1851, to September 25th, 1852.
[74] These tables are not here reprinted in a separate form, except
the enumeration of deaths for the year, which is No. VI. in the
Appendix. The others are embodied in the different quinquennial
tables of the Appendix.
In the first table I have distributed the 3064 deaths of the period,
according to their localities and seasons; showing them as they
occurred, male and female, during each quarter of the year, in the
several districts and sub-districts of the City. For the foot of each
column, I have calculated the year’s death’s rate, per thousand of the
living, in the district or sub-district referred to; and at the head
of the columns, for facility of reference, I have introduced an
analysis of the population, founded on the Registrar-General’s recent
census.
In the second table all the deaths of the last four years are stated,
in a form which will enable you to compare one year with another, and
one sub-district with another, in respect of their several
contributions to the total mortality of the period.
In the third table 12,540 deaths[75] of the last four years are
classified according to the ages at which they befell. This table is
arranged in a manner to display its results, first for each year
separately, and next for each Union separately; in order that you may
observe what local or annual differences have obtained as to the ages
of chief mortality.
[75] In the remaining number (17) the particulars of age and
residence could not be correctly ascertained.
