Abstract
THE object of this book, as its author, Sir Douglas Galton, tells us, is to bring together the principles of hospital construction which now lie scattered through various publications, and to show what points are essential to health in hospital establishments. This task has been admirably fulfilled by the author, and we cannot but recognise the skilful manner in which from chaos he has brought together and condensed in the small compass of 282 pages such a vast amount of useful information.
Healthy Hospitals: Observations on some Points connected with Hospital Construction.
By Sir Douglas Galton, &c. (Oxford: The Clarendon Press.)
