Note 27 — IV.—COMPARATIVE CHANCES OF LIFE IN DIFFERENT CLASSES OF THE COMMUNITY.
Reading edition
I have referred to the experience since the year 1801 in France, where the registration of births amongst the migratory population of the crowded districts, where the greatest mortality prevails, is likely to have been as imperfect as in England, but that experience is, on the whole, confirmatory, and proves that in the worst districts the births still exceed the mortality.
Increase of Population in 35 Years in every 10,000 Persons. Proportion of Births in 35 Years to 10,000 of Population. Proportion of Deaths in 35 Years to 10,000 of Population. Excess of Births over Deaths in 10,000 of Population.
5 groups of departments of lowest mortality 311 10,705 8,079 2,626
6 groups of departments of mean mortality 2,396 12,439 10,044 2,395
6 groups of departments of highest mortality 4,190 13,024 12,350 674
