Having now continued thefe monthly obfervations, on the difeafes of London, 
during two years, | propofe, for the prefent, to conclude them, as perhaps no 
material variation of the feries of difeafes may occur for a length of time, in the dif- 
trict of the town, wherein the obfervations have been chiefly made. On com- 
mencing chem, it was faid that ftri€t accuracy, as to the fubjeét at large, could 
only be obtained by the combined efforts of praétitioners differently ftationed. Ie 
would, however, be defirable that the feries of difeafes occurring in another part 
of the city, fhould be compared with the I[tfts or ftatements above given, which I 
have endeavoured to make as correét as poffible. By afcertaining in aiflerent fitu- 
_ ations, the proportion of acute to chronic difeafes, the proportionate number of ine 
flammatory and putrid complaints, and of contagious fevers of every defcriprion, 
we might be enabled to derive much information not only curious, burt likewife ufeful 
--both in pathology, and the praétice of phyfic. Hoping that fome of your medical corref- ; 
pondents may undertake the tafk Iwill here mention the diétri¢t which has been the 
rincipal theatre of the preceding obfervations: it extends from St. Paul’s, and Sr. 
Webi) freer wet ward, to St. Martin’s-lane, and Tottenham-court-road ; and is bounded 
on the fourth, by the river ; on the north, by the New-road trom Iflington to Paddington. - 
-It remains for meto return thanks. to-the Editors of the Monthly Magazine, 
for the good opinion they have often expreiled, and for their favourable mention of thefe 
Periodical Effays, which, in justice perhaps, fhould only be confidered as hafty fketches, 
drawn up without nice orecifion of language, and without fufficient attention to order 
and regularity. 3R STATE
