A Handbook Of Hygiene And Sanitary Science

Excerpt from A Handbook of Hygiene: And Sanitary Science I very much regret that this Handbook has been out of print for more than a year. While the delay in preparing a new edition has been much interfered with by official duties, it has been mainly due to my earnest endeavour to render the work still more worthy of the very favourable reception which has been accorded to it ever since it was first published. With the exception of a few chapters, all of which have been carefully revised and brought up to date, the whole of the book has been re-written; and in spite of every effort to compress, the present edition has been enlarged to the extent of more than two hundred pages, and contains a considerable number of new wood-cuts to illustrate more clearly those portions of the text which apply to ventilation, sanitary fittings and drainage, house-building, isolation hospitals, and parasitic diseases.

Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Excerpt from Handbook of Hygiene The first edition of this work which appeared not long after the passing of the Public Health Act 1872, was so favourably received that a second was called for within six months, and this too has been out of print for nearly a year. The delay in the preparation of the present edition, although to me a matter of deep regret, is in great measure due to my desire to make the work still more worthy of continued confidence, and to spare no pains in incorporating all the more important facts and details connected with the recent rapid progress of sanitary science. In the preface to the first edition I expressed my great indebtedness to the standard work of the late Dr. Parkes, and I wish now to acknowledge what his own kindliness of heart and different nature would not permit me to acknowledge before - that it was under his encouragement that the work was first written, and that all the proof-sheets were submitted to him at his own request as they issued from the press.
