    Finally, if I compare Islington with the other districts in London, and here let me say that, generally speaking in sanitary matters, their example is by no means the best, and consequently not to be taken as a model, although, if there be anything good, by all means let us follow it, I find— London possesses one Inspector to each 27,403 persons, and „ „ one „ ,, 3,568 inhabited houses; and each house contains 7·6 persons, compared with Islington's 8·3.
