The figures in the above table were obtained by personal inspection of the books of the
several Hospitals, with the exception of those marked with a star, and for these I have to thank
Dr. Thomson and Mr. Beale, the Officers of Health of the respective districts.
† Besides these, I have informal ion since this table was made, of 10 deaths of St. Giles's
patients in the Westminster Hospital in 1859.
