    I have been induced to publish the following paper, from an opinion expi’essed by several to whom it has been submitted, that the facts given in it are important, and should be more generally known. In advancing my own views as to the means for ventilating the sewers, and in commenting on those of others, I may have laid myself open to controvertion; but on this head I am careless: my Qhief aim being to raise discussion on the subject, and to call public attention to the evils conse- quent on the present system. I am aware that there are several rejjetitions in the paper, but as it can be but of temporary interest, I have not con- sidered it necessaiy to make any alterations. G. A. R. Alfred Street, St. Giles’s, Bee. 21, 1864.
