For convenience of comparison I prefix to them
those Tables of my last Annual Report, in which I
had compiled the results of five years' previous experience
in the several matters referred to.
Such inferences as I am able to draw from these
pathological statistics of the City, you have allowed
me on former occasions to submit with so much
detail, that any renewed analysis of their meaning
would seem superfluous. The epidemic prevalence
of Cholera is the only fact to require exceptional
notice; but since our new experience of this disease
will claim to be separately spoken of, I need not at
present trespass on your time by any comment on
the figures which I subjoin.
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient faithful Servant,
JOHN SIMON.
