In 1884 it was 53.78 years.
„ 1885 „ 56.11 „
„ 1886 „ 54.46 „
„ 1887 „ 56.49 „
„ 1888 „ 57.71 „
„ 1889 „ 61.43 „
So that the mean length of life in this Parish during
those 15 years has averaged just over 53 years.
The mean length of life in London during the last 12
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 „
„ 1889 „ 4327 „
I have only to repeat what I have said in my former
Reports that the mean length of life in this Parish, and in
London generally, is shown to be gradually increasing,
both numbers being the highest yet recorded, a fact which
is, I have no doubt, largely due to the improvements
in household sanitary arrangements.
