Abstract
A FEW sentences of the preface to this work serve admirably to indicate its scope and, it may be added, its attainment. “This volume deals with the principles, rather than the arts, of sanitation,” the author writes. “It is intended to be no more than an elementary treatise on the subject; and while it is believed that it contains some new material, and some old material treated from new points of view, no special claim is made for originality either in substance or in method of presentation.” The author has, therefore, chiefly sought to bring together and to present in a simple and logical form those fundamental scientific principles on which the great practical arts of modern sanitation securely rest.
