Abstract
THE question of River Pollution, one of undoubted importance to the country at large, has been once again raised by Mr. Hope, so well known for his untiring zeal in the cause of sewage farming, in the two above-named pamphlets. As involving questions of science—or at least of applied science—we feel called upon to offer some remarks upon the subject, the more so as it is one having such unquestionable sanitary bearings as to have been made the subject of Select Committees, Royal Commissions, and of at least three Parliamentary Bills.
Pollution of Rivers. What Means can be adopted to prevent the Pollution of Rivers?
A Paper read at the Social Science Congress, Plymouth and Devonport, September 1872, by William Hope. (London, 1873.)
Food Manufacture versus River Pollution.
A Letter addressed to the Newspaper Press of England, by the same Author. (London: Stanford, 1875.)
