From the difficulty of introducing a sheet, of sufficient size, to represent such a Mor- tality into the folio, this figure has been projected on a tenth part of the scale of the other figures in the Diagram. Had it been on the same scale the longest Radius, repre- senting the Mortality in the Hospitals for Pebruay 1855, would have projected 40 inches from the centre of the circle! Illustrating the Relative Density of Population in London, in East Loudon, and in the Quartermaster-General's Plans for Encampment.
