Abstract
THIS volume gives, in a collected form, a series of papers published originally in the British Medical Journal. Its object, the author states, is to give “an account of the most ordinary sanitary defects in dwelling-houses and public institutions, in respect to drainage, water-supply, ventilation, warming, and lighting;” and “to set forth,” what he believes, “the most simple and effective means of preventing or remedying such defects.” He thinks it necessary to say further:—“The purpose of this small work is to point out, in the plainest language, what ought to be done to render ancient and modern houses healthy. I will eschew all extraneous matter, as much as possible, and will not fall into the common practice, better honoured in the breach than the observance, of heading the chapters, or interlarding the matter, with lines from the poets.“
