N.W. of London by rail, situated on the right bank of the estuary of the Mersey, the centre of the city being about 3 M. from the open sea. The form of the city is that of an irregular semicircle, having the base line formed by the docks and quays extending about 9 M. along the
east
  bank of the estuary, which here runs nearly north and

 , and varies in breadth from i to 2 M. On the north the city is partly bounded by the borough of Bootle, along the shore of which the line of docks is continued. The area of the city is 16,619 acres exclusive of water area. The population at the census of 19o1 was 684,958; the estimated population in 1908 was 753,203; the

 -rate for 1907 was 31.7 and the death-rate18.3; in 1908 the rateable value was 4,679,52o.
The city lies on a continuous slope varying in gradient, but in some districts very steep. Exposed to the western sea breezes, with a dry subsoil and excellent natural drainage, the site is naturally healthy.
