Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dwelling House
This work is intended not merely to point out certain common defects in the Dwelling House, and to show how evils more or less necessary in towns may be avoided in the country, but to call attention to the fact that our modern methods of sanitation, and the heavy taxation of the dwelling, inevitably increase overcrowding, and the moral and physical ills which follow in its train.
An attempt is made to review the great subject of the disposal of house refuse in its political and scientific aspects, rather than from the point of View of the trades man or patentee.
