Da. How, who was for many years Medical Officer of
Health for Holborn, died before the publication of this monumental Work. His surviving colleague is the M.O.H. for Hertford- shire. The whole book is written by recognised experts, and every branch of what is usually taken to be included Within The term- Public' Health is clearly expoinided and dfic-uSsed. It' is an • authoritative rather than an original work ; and hygienic speculation and philosophy are left for others to tackle. We'have'here an Orthodox presentation of established fact and established practice ; and all those Who—whether as doctors or as local administrators—are concerned with Public Health activities should, if they can afford it, buy this book. Considering its size and quality, it is well worth the price which the publishers are compelled to charge. These two large volumes must have cost a lot of money to produce. The result justifies, the effort and the expense.
