The Registrar-General returns the estimated population
of London for the middle of the year 1899 as 4,546,752,
consisting of 2,154,265 males and 2,392,487 females, and
states that there were registered during the year 41,853
marriages, 133,120 births (68,034 males and 65,086 females),
and 89,689 deaths (46,134 males and 43,505 females).
There were registered, too, 11,228 deaths from the seven
chief zymotic diseases. The excess of registered births
over deaths, i.e., the natural increment, is 43,431 and the
estimated increase of population is 42,182.
* These rateable values are the figures as settled by the Assessment
Committee in the last Supplementary Valuation List, and do not include,
therefore, any new properties that may come into existence after such list
is settled.
