the
SANITARY CONDITION
OF THE
CITY OF LONDON.
EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT.
To the Honorable the Commissioners of
Sewers of the City of London.
8, King Street, Finsbury Square,
October 14 th, 1856.
Gentlemen,
In accordance with the usual
practice of my predecessor, I lay before you a series
of Tables having reference to the mortality of the
City of London for the year ending at Michaelmas ;
and although these tables exhibit many facts that
might be made the subjects of ingenious speculation,
and even of eloquent discourse, yet I will not
venture, with the experience of a single year, to do
more than give you a very simple account of their
signification and value.
