LITERATURE.
PUBLIC ALM. A Popular Exposition
the Advantages and Benefits to be Derived from
the Adoption of the Pubiic Health Act, 1848:
and Showing its A'rni interference with Local Self-
government. By Alfred A Wallbridge.
Mr. Wallbridge has condens7A, into twenty four
12mo. pages all the essentixl enactments of the
Public Health Act of 1848, whicb, in Mr. Wall-
bridge's
pamphlet, becomes, in consequence of being
divested of the absurd verbiage under which the
drawers-up of Acts of Parliament are wont to smother
the meaning of the Legislature, a really under-
standable production. We recommend this admirable
resume to the study of all those who wish to really
understand the meaning of one of the most important
statutes that ever passed the British Legislature.

the greatest success. This volume contains the
results of his experience and of that of his father in,these
