    original views of each writer, whilst I have striven to avoid as much as possible a repetition of those matters which have been treated of in other portions of the book. As the independent expression of several writers, it is hoped that the present handbook will be found to contain many useful suggestions upon the subject of urban as well as rural sanitary science, and that it will prove a useful pocket companion for justices of the peace, clergy, sanitary officers, members of local boards, as well as of the public generally, who are anxiously looking for the realisation of that important declaration, ‘ the first care of a Minister is the health of the people.’ Lory Marsh. 11 Spring Gardens, Charing Cross, S.W.
