Abstract
THE author has in the present edition attempted to bring the information available upon this important subject up to the present state of knowledge and practice, and he has added to the former edition an appendix in which the processes in common use for the chemical examination of sewage and sewage effluents are briefly described. The work bears evidence that it has been written by one who is in touch with the practical side of the recent methods of sewage purification; the text also indicates considerable acquaintance with the advances which have been made in the treatment of sewage in various centres of population in this country.
