MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT
For the Year ending Lady Day, 1877.
Gentlemen,
I have much pleasure in submitting to you the Twentyfirst
Annual Report on the Health and Sanitary Condition of the
Parish of Lambeth.
In estimating the Mortality of the District, I have pursued the
same plan as adopted by my prcdecesors, viz., to deduct stranger's
deaths in Public Institutions. To render it more correct,
however, the deaths of Lambeth persons who died in Public
Institutions without the Parish, during the year should be also
included, and notably those belonging to Lambeth who died at
Leavesden, Wandsworth, and other Metropolitan Asylums. Next
year I hope to be able to furnish these additional data.
Being my first report, I have sought to make it as replete with
information as possible, so that it may serve as a useful work
