Excerpt from Infant Feeding and Its Influence on Life: Or the Causes and Prevention of Infant Mortality From sheer necessity, therefore, I have been compelled chie y to use French returns, although of course wishing to make them bear almost ex elusively on England and Ireland. Upon this point, however, I wish to say, and that explicitly, for I have been already misunderstood and mis represented, that from the very nature of the data used, strict exactitude in the figures given is not to be expected. At most, I can only bring out results which shall be true relatively; and this I hope I have done. Stat ing this much as a caution - I am bound, however, to add that, in many cases, my conclusions may be also true absolutely. Vital statistics, in the present day, are found to be governed generally by the same common laws; and, although the actual figure of percentage does occasionally vary to a small degree, the difference is not by any means so great as it may at first appear, even where the populations of di 'erent countries are taken. Hence it is Often allowable to deduce from data which we do not possess for our own country, conclusions which, nevertheless, are perfectly true when applied to ourselves. Take, for instance, Paris and London. The mortality may vary by one or two per cent., but, nevertheless, it is still governed in the two cities by the same general laws.
