| Summary: | This study details the geography of mortality in England and Wales, by using 614 districts to chart variations and changes in the principal causes of death from the 1860s to the 1890s. It deals especially with infant and childhood mortality, early adult deaths, maternal mortality, and the causes of death in old age. The concluding chapter of this study also provides an interpretation of the importance of epidemiology and place in the 19th century. |
