    The following table shows, in its successive columns, the acreage, the population, the houses, and the population per acre and per house, of the entire parish and of each of its sub-districts:—

    It will be seen from it that the actual increase during the last decenniad was far larger than that in any previous similar period, and that the rate of increase was nearly as high as it ever has been:—

    The statistics in reference to them, obtained at the last three censuses, are subjoined:—

  • Page 32
    The increase which has taken place in the entire parish has been shared, though in unequal degrees, by its component parts, as may be seen by the following tables; the first relating to the populations of the sub-districts, as ascertained at the censuses of 1851, 1861, and 1871; the second to the houses which were built and in process of building at those dates:—

    A reference to the mortuary tables will readily explain this disproportion, for we there find, under the heads of special infantile causes of death—viz., Premature Birth or defective vitality continuing from birth, inflammatory affections of the lungs, diarrhœa, and hydrocephalus and convulsions of infancy—that the mortality has been everywhere considerable, except in Dulwich:—
    Premature birth.Inflammatory Affections of the Lungs.Diarrhœa.Convulsions & c.Total.

    The infectious fevers generally were not very fatal during the year, as the accompanying table (in which I have included the mortality for these diseases for the last 6 years) shows:—
