In 1875 it was 46.67 years.
„ 1876 „ 47.96 „
„ 1877 " 49.52 „
„ 1878 „ 48.03 „
„ 1879 „ 48.55 „
„ 1880 „ 58.01 „
„ 1881 „ 50.26 „
„ 1882 „ 52.56 „
„ 1883 „ 55.09 „
„ 1884 „ 53.78 „
„ 1885 „ 56.11 „
„ 1886 „ 54.46 „
„ 1887 „ 56.49 „
„ 1888 „ 57.71 „
„ 1889 „ 61.43 „
„ 1890 „ 62.67 "
So that the mean length of life in this Parish during
those 16 years has averaged nearly 54 years.
The mean length of life in London during the last 13
years has been, according to my calculation, as follows:In
1878 it was 34 -24 years
„ 1870 „ 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 „ 43.27 „
„ 1890 „ 41.10 „
It will thus be seen that the calculated mean length of
life in this Parish was higher than in any previous years,
while that of London generally was lower than it was in
either 1888 or 1889, but higher than in any year before
1888,
