Excerpt from Descriptive Essays, Vol. 2 of 2: Contributed to the Quarterly Review

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an investigation of the sanitary conditions of the poor in England in the 19th century. It is based on a report commissioned by the Poor-Law Commission, and it paints a grim picture of overcrowding, poor ventilation, and lack of access to clean water. The author argues that these conditions are a major cause of disease and premature death among the poor, and he calls for government action to improve them. The book is a valuable historical document, and it provides important insights into the social conditions of Victorian England. It is also a reminder of the importance of public health and the need to ensure that everyone has access to a healthy living environment.
