    10 The third Table gives the death rates of London, of the South Districts of London, of the Parish of Lambeth, and of each of its eight sub-divisions ; whence it appears that the death-rate of Lambeth was less than that of the entire Metropolis, and considerably less than that of the South Districts of the Metro polis, among which it is situated.
