The death-rate in each year since 1840 in relation to the mean death-rate of the period
1841-1906 is shown in diagram III.
The following table has been prepared for the purpose of comparing the death-rate of
London with those of other English towns having populations which exceeded 200,000 persons at
the census of 1901.
Tbe columns showing " death-rates corrected for age and sex distribution " have been
obtained by multiplying the crude death-rates by the " factors for correction " published by the
Registrar-General in the Annual Summary for 1906.
1 See footnote (1) page 6.
2 Theso death-rates are fully corrected for institutions, i.e., by the exclusion of deaths of persons not belonging
to but occurring in institutions situated within London, and by the inclusion of deaths of persons belonging to
London but occurring in London institutions situated outside the Administrative County.
