Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Statistics of Consumption in Roxbury: Read Before the Norfolk District Medical Society of Massachusetts, at the Annual Meeting, May 17th, 1854
In the spring of 185] the city was divided, and about three quarters of its territory set off to constitute the new town of West Roxbury.
It is to the present city of Roxbury that our investigations will chiefly relate though from the impossibility of making a separation in all cases we must sometimes take the statistics of the two places together. This, however, will not materially alter the numbers, nor have any very sensible effect on the results deduced from them.
