    PREFACE The object of this book is to provide a practical guide to the Planning of Fever Hospitals and Disinfecting Stations; and to place on record those principles which are invariably followed in the design of such buildings. Part of this work has already appeared in the columns of The Sanitary Record and is now, by special arrangement, enlarged and reproduced in this volume. The illustrations present a study from which considerable profit can be derived. It must be understood, however, that they do not comprise the whole of the hospitals of this country, many examples are unworthy of servile imitation; then, there being a great similarity in the general planning of fever pavihons, I have endeavoured to place before my readers the examples which contain exemplary points of interest. In conclusion I have to thank the many Architects, Borough Engineers, Mr. T. Buncombe Mann, Clerk to the Metropohtan Asylums Board, and others for their valuable assistance in the preparation of the work. ALBERT C. FREEMAN, Architect. 72, FiNSBURY Pavement, London, E.C.
