the sewage water from the Thames, and converting
into manure, in applying for their Bill in Parliament.
experienced much opposition from the Dean and
Chapter of Westminster. The Company, it ap-
pears, was desirous to erect works, and to use a
sewer in Westminster. On applying to Dr. Buckland,
the Dean, to know the reason for his opposition, he can-
didly confessed that he had opposed the Bill, without
knowing what Mr. Higgs' plan was, and whether in
reality it would be a nuisance or a benefit! He had
never inquired, and did not care to know, what
the plan was, and without first informing him-
self that (as the truth is) the adoption of his plan
would ease the sewer, improve the drainage of the
parish, and be no nuisance whatever, he opposed and
prevented a trial in Westminster, leaving the company
to make Bermondsey the corpus vile of their experi-
ments. From scientific Dr. Buckland, the geolo-
gist, this could hardly be expected; had the public
treated his effusions in a similar manner,
where now would be his fame ? From an or-
dinary Dean, such conduct would not be sur-
prising ; from a scientific and withal liberal author,
better things might have been anticipated. It may be
confidently hoped that, notwithstanding the interested
opposition of the bigoted, and despite the apathy of the
public, a strong Government may be able to carry an
effective measure for the better preservation in all towns
in the kingdom, of that most precious, but most ne-
glected jewel—Human Life.— The Patent Journal.
