A most interesting record of the terrible year of Death, 1665, giving week by week the Mortality List, and also list of the Births. Commences for the week ending December 27, 1664, in which week were 291 deaths against 229 births (to the Plague, however, only one death was assigned).

For the week ending July 18, the deaths from the Plague alone were 1,089; total deaths for the week, 1,761, and only 194 births.

Two months later, week ending September 19, deaths from the Plague alone had risen to 7,165, whilst the total death-rate for the week was 8,297 against 176 births.

This was the high-water mark of the Plague, as the next week the deaths had fallen to 5,533, and in December 19, 1665, the deaths from the Plague were only 281.

The total deaths from the Plague for the year were 68,556, while from Small Pox they were but 6. The Births were only 9,967.
