OF THE GROWTH OF THE CITY OF LONDON: And of the Measures, Periods,
Causes, and Consequences thereof
By the city of London we mean the housing within the walls of the
old city, with the liberties thereof, Westminster, the Borough of
Southwark, and so much of the built ground in Middlesex and Surrey,
whose houses are contiguous unto, or within call of those
aforementioned. Or else we mean the housing which stand upon the
ninety-seven parishes within the walls of London; upon the sixteen
parishes next without them; the six parishes of Westminster, and the
fourteen out-parishes in Middlesex and Surrey, contiguous to the
former, all which, 133 parishes, are comprehended within the weekly
bills of mortality.
