ESSAYS ON RURAL HYGIENE.
'A highly important book. The whole book is an education in itself. It is a volume to be read and re-read equally by householders and by professional sanitarians. Our only regret is that amid the flood of hygienic literature which is year by year turned loose upon the world, there are so few books of this type—fearless, honest, and scientific criticisms of existing errors, and full, likewise, of recommendations whereby these errors may be rectified.'—Glasgow Herald.

THE DWELLING HOUSE
BY GEORGE VIVIAN POORE, M.D., F.R.C.P.
Physician to University College Hospital Fellow of the Sanitary Institute Member of the Permanent Committee of the International Congress of Hygiene and Demography Honorary Member of the Hungarian Society of Public Health, &c. Author of 'Essays on Rural Hygiene'
Houses are built to Live in, and not to Looke on.... God Almightie first planted a Garden. And, indeed, it is the purest of Humane Pleasures. It is the Greatest Refreshment to the Spirits of Man; without which Buildings and Pallaces are but Grosse Handy workes.—Bacon
Is this improvement? where the human breed Degenerate as they swarm and overflow, Till toil grows cheaper than the trodden weed, And man competes with man, like foe with foe, Till Death, that thins them, scarce seems public woe? To gorge a few with Trade's precarious prize, We banish rural life and breathe unwholesome skies Campbell
