This concludes my Report on the Cholera. It may possibly create
some surprise that I have not dwelt more on the specialities of the Limehouse
District. It was scarcely necessary. The interest has greater proportions.
It is in a large sweep of districts that the facts and the force at
the enquiry can only be fairly presented. An objection may also be made to
the character of the practical suggestions. I can only say they are not the
recommendations of the hour, springing up with the pestilence, they have
weighed with me for years, and become irrevocably confirmed by recent
events.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
THOMAS ORTON,
Medical Officer to the Limrhouse Hoard of Works.
November, 1866.
