Excerpt from Notes on the Principles of Population: Montreal Compared With London, Glasgow, and Manchester; With an Examination of Vital Statistics by Philip P. Carpenter
In 1859, a committee of gentlemen republished and distributed, gratis, the essay by Dr. Carpenter, which appeared in the Canadian Naturalist and Geologist of June that year, I again, addressed a letter on the subject of Vital Statistics to a City paper and it was rejected.
In February, 1861, I wrote a review of Dr. Carpenter's essay for the Gazette, but, after the appearance of three parts, it was discontinued on account of the great delay in publication.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This detailed analysis of Montreal focuses on the city's high mortality rate compared to other cities around the globe. The author delves into the complexities of vital statistics, taking into account the city's unique characteristics, such as its large immigrant population and high birth rate. Using mortality tables and a range of statistical methods, the book demonstrates that Montreal's seemingly alarming death rate is, in fact, a result of these specific variables. The author challenges conventional interpretations of the city's health, arguing that the true measure of a population's well-being cannot be determined by mortality rates alone. This book offers valuable insights into the relationship between birth rates, immigration, and mortality rates, and underscores the need for a more nuanced understanding of vital statistics in assessing a city's health.
