AN ANALYSIS OF DEATH CAUSES.
All death causes are conveniently arranged under various headings,
according to the Registrar-General's classification of diseases,
and the following table, a summary of the larger table in the
Appendix, shows the Death Rates for residents, and in fact
all persons belonging to the Borough (although some of them may
have died in Institutions in other Boroughs, or even outside the
County of London altogether), per 1,000 of the population living
in the Borough.
