Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Treatise on Public Health: And Its Applications in Different European Countries When requested by Messrs. Swan Sonnenschein & Co. to supervise the translation of Dr. Palmberg´s "Trait? de Tygiene Publique," had no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that Dr. Palmberg´s work possessed an importance and interest which more than justified its proposed appearance in an English dress. England is in sanitary matters far in advance of other European countries; but on many points of detail it can learn important lessons from the practice of continental countries, as described in this volume. This is especially true in reference to the part played by the veterinary profession in the sanitary organization of other European countries, and the greater care and precision in the inspection of all meat intended for human food. A careful comparison of the practice in the different countries on various other points is equally suggestive, and under nearly every head the English hygienist may be able to discover points worthy of imitation. The portion of the book relating to England has been carefully revised and brought up to date, and it is hoped that it may furnish a valuable summary of English sanitary legislation and administration. In a work of such extent it is possible that some errors as to fact and errors of omission may have escaped notice ; but it is hoped that these arc not numerous or important. In the English section, English weights and measures are given; in the other parts the metric system is retained. A comparative table of weights and measures is given on p. 527. I have to express my obligations to Messrs. Knight & Co., of Fleet Street, for their kind permission to reproduce figures 7 to 23 from their Annotated Model Bye-Laws.
