provisional returns, was 18.3 per 1,000, practically
equal to the mean rate (18.35), and the highest rate
since 1895, when it stood at 18.7. In London the
death-rate last year was 19.8, or 0.2 above the mean (19.6)
The rates for the Parish (taken as 16.0 for
Paddington, 17.8 for St. Mary, and 10.6 for St. John)
compare favourably with these rates for the Country
and Metropolis, as appears from the following statement
