About this eBook

Author Dudfield, T. Orme
Title The Annual Report on the Health of the Parish of St. Mary Abbotts, Kensington, during the year 1874
Credits Transcribed from the 1875 J. Wakeham edition by David Price
Summary "The Annual Report on the Health of the Parish of St. Mary Abbotts, Kensington, During the Year 1874" by T. Orme Dudfield is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This detailed report documents the public health statistics of the parish, focusing on mortality rates, prevalent diseases, and sanitary conditions throughout the year. The work highlights the vital statistics essential for understanding the public health landscape of Kensington during this era, including issues related to infectious diseases and recommendations for improving sanitary measures. At the start of the report, Dudfield outlines the structure and purpose of his annual update, indicating his intention to compare the health data with broader metropolitan figures. He notes a rise in the mortality rate for 1874, attributing this increase to a severe epidemic of measles and a concerning number of deaths from lung diseases. Dudfield offers detailed statistics on births, deaths, and the character of prevalent diseases, drawing comparisons between different sub-districts within Kensington. His observations reflect an awareness of how socioeconomic factors influence health outcomes, highlighting disparities in mortality rates and disease prevalence between wealthier and poorer areas.
