St. Pancras suffered from Cholera in this last epidemic more than St.
Marylebone or Islington, less than Hackney, Clerkenwell, St. Giles, or the
Strand, and about in the same proportion as Holborn.
The annexed table will show the relative position of St. Pancras, as regards
mortality from Cholera and all causes, population, the annual value of property,
and various other matters. It is taken from the Registrar General's report,
except so far as relates to St. Pancras, the mortality of which, I am able from
local enquiries, to give with a little more accuracy than he could.
See pages xviii. and xix. of the Registrar General's Summary of Weekly
Returns of Births and Deaths, during the year 1866.
