PUBLIC HEALTH. A Popular Exposition of
the Advantages and Benefits to be Derived from
the Adoption of the Public Health Act, 1848:
and Showing its Noninterference with Local Self-
government By Afred A Wallbridgc.
Mr. Wallbrid,ge has condensed, into twenty four
12mo, pages all the essential enactments of the
Public Health Act of 1848, which, 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
reBttrqe to the study of all those who wish to really
Understand the meaning of one of the most importan`
atatutes that ever passtd the British Legislature.
