The mean duration of life in this Parish during the
last 14 years has been as follows:—
In 1875 it was 46.67 years
„ 1876 „ 47.96 „
„ 1877 „ 49.52 „
„ 1878 „ 48.03 „
„ 1879 „ 48.55 „
„ 18S0 „ 58.01 „
„ 1881 „ 50.26 „
„ 1882 52.56 „
„ 1883 „ 55.09 „
„ 1884 „ 53.78 „
„ 1885 „ 56.11 „
„ 1886 „ 54.46 „
„ 1887 „ 56.49 „
„ 1888 „ 58.37 „
So that the mean duration of life in this Parish during
those 14 years has averaged just over 52½ years.
The mean duration of life in London during the last
11 years has been, according to my calculation, as follows:—
In 1878 it was 34 24 years
„ 1879 „ 34.23 „
„ 1880 „ 35.17 „
„ 1881 „ 35.87 „
„ 1882 „ 36.82 „
„ 1883 „ 37.88 „
„ 1884 „ 38.08 „
„ 1885 „ 39.29 „
„ 1886 „ 39.31 „
„ 1887 „ 39.98 „
„ 1888 „ 41.77 „
It will thus be seen that the mean duration of life in
this Parish and in London generally is steadily increasing
the mean duration in this Parish being now 58.37 years, as
against 41.77 in London generally, both numbers being the
highest yet recorded.
