This table gives an epitome of the vital statistics of
Hackney since 1841, and shews indirectly the great increase of
our population by the augmented number of our births and
deaths. During the 10 years, 1841-50, the mean annual
number of births was 1,398, and of deaths 946; in 1861-70, the
mean annual number of births was 3,440, and of deaths, 2,182;
and in 1882 there were 6,423 births to 3,505 deaths registered
