5. Westminster Review, 1825, p. 519.

7. Treatise on Fever, p. 324.

8. Modern investigations have proved, for instance, that contaminated water or milk will produce an epidemic as well as contaminated air. But all these poisons arise from bad sanitary conditions.—G. L.

9. Origin and Progress of Sanitary Reform. T. Jones Howell.

10. Cockburn's Life of Jeffrey, ii. 247.

20. "The Health of Towns Commission."

21. The statements as to the saving of life which would be effected if proper sanitary measures were carried out were necessarily various, since the difference which could be made in the death-rate was a matter of opinion, and had yet to be proved by experiment. If, instead of one death annually in every 46 inhabitants throughout England and Wales (the then proportion), there should be an improvement sufficient to secure there being one death in every 50, upwards of 25,000 lives would be saved. Whilst, if the sanitary state of towns could be raised to that of healthy counties, there would be a saving of 49,000 lives. The Association seems to have chosen something between the least probable and the highest probable saving of life.—G. L.

22. Lord Morpeth speaks here of the saving of life in large towns only.

23. In the House of Lords.
