containing less then half the population of London, the deaths
from Cholera alone during the year were 20,643. If the same
rate of mortality had prevailed in London, instead of 5,577, the
deaths would have exceeded forty-two thousand. In Brussels the
deaths were in the proportion of 164, Utrecht 271, and Amsterdam
42, in 10,000 inhabitants. In London 18, aud in Lambeth
only 6, in 10,000 inhabitants died.
In Table VI, will be found the deaths from Cholera in each of
the eight divisions of the Parish in each week of the Epidemic,
from which it will be seen that the greatest number of deaths
occured in the weeks ending the 18th August, and 6th and 13th
October. The Disease was most fatal in the two lowest lying
districts of the Parish, viz: the Lambeth Church, 1st and 2nd
part districts, 28 deaths taking place in the former, and 46 in the
latter, containing the Workhouse; 13 occurred in the Kennington
1st part, and 5 in the Kennington 2nd part districts, 4 in the
Waterloo Road 1st part, and 9 in the 2nd part, 6 in the Brixton,
and 3 in the Norwood district
A comparison of Mortality from Cholera in Lambeth in each of
the epidemics which have occurred is shown in Table VII., which
gives the population of the Parish in each period, the number of
deaths from cholera, and the death rate per 10,000 inhabitants.
