From which it will be seen that the force of the
epidemic in the City has not been serious. It was,
indeed, only half as severe as in the whole of
London; a fourth of that at Liverpool and Paris;
a ninth of that at Vienna and Naples; and only a
sixteenth of what it was at Brussels, and the chief
towns of Holland and Belgium.
So also if we compare it with the epidemics of
1849 and 1854, the lightness of its touch is equally
apparent.
