DEATHS.
4656 deaths were registered during the year 1875 in Islington.
This gives us a death-rate of 19.02 per 1000 of the population.
Of these 4656 deaths, 2312 were males and 2344 were females,
1946 deaths occurred in the Western district, of which 960 were
males; and 2710 in the Eastern, of which number 1352 were males.
In the year 1875 the death-rate of all England was at the rate
of 20.3 per 1000; of London, 23.7; of Birmingham, 26.5; of
Liverpool, 27.5; of Leeds, 26 4; of Sheffield, 24.8. In Philadelphia
the death-rate is 22.27; in Vienna 31.42; and in New York and
Berlin over 29.0 per 1000. I may note that in case of the births,
the number of males born is invariably in excess of the females,
whilst in the case of deaths the same excess of males over females
holds good. In this way numbers are equalized. The following
table tells its own story:—
