From the foregoing tables we perceive, that in 

 England and Wales, a much larger number of 

 individuals die from diseases of the respiratory 

 organs than from any other class of maladies. 

 And Mr. Farr has shown that in the metropolis, 

 from January 1838, to June 1841, or three years 

 and a half, the number was much greater during 

 winter than any other season, as represented 

 in the next table :
