Table 1V gives the populations of London, of the South
Districts of London, of the Parish of Lambeth, and of each
of its eight sub-divisions, according to the Census of 1851,
and according to that of 1861, with the rate of increase during
the decennial period 1851—61.* It also gives the deathrates
of the same districts and divisions, for the year 1861;
whence it appears that the death-rate of Lambeth was considerably
less than that of the South Districts of London,
and than that of the entire Metropolis.

The death rates for 1861 are more than usually important,
as being calculated upon the actual, instead of upon the estimated
population of the year. Speaking in round numbers,
These rates of increase have been calculated
according to the formula—
10.0219
