REPORT
on
THE SANITARY CONDITION
of the
Parish of St. George, Hanover Square,
FOR THE YEAR 1884.
by
W. H.CORFIELD, M.A., M.D. (OXON.), F.R.C.P. (LOND.),
Professor of Hygiene and Public Health
in University College, London,
Medical officer of health and public analyst.
(BEING HIS THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT.)
To the Vestry of Parish of St. George,
HANOVER SQUARE.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
During the year 1884 the healthy condition of the
Parish has been attested by a very low death-rate, though,
as I anticipated, not so low as the altogether exceptional
one of 1883.
