tics and suggestions offered will no doubt be received with
'1,,, rotirprl to rnn-

due interest and attention. The author, at the outset,
protests against the project urged by the Metropolitan
Sanitary Commissioners (in regarding all economies infe-
rior to that of public health), of discharging the whole
of the sewage of London into the Thames, and to pre-

therein, flushing them with large volumes of water at
brief periodical intervals. " If, he says, "it can be
shown that the public health can be as effectually guarded

ich human ingenuity can possibly devise,

üblic, can be accomplished without this sinful
waste of substances which are in themselves eminently
conclusive to health, as essential elements (in the agri-
cultural production of) of food—T conceive it be-

comes a sacred duty to oppose the sacrifice, and
adopt the best course by which it may be avoided." He
adds, that " amid the almost incalculable mass of refuse
substances which the sewers of the metropolis convey
into the river, is a vast amount of valuable fertilizing
matttr. the great bulk of which consists of human cxnvisp_

nightsoil, &e.," commodities duly appreciated on the
continent, but not until lately appreciated here, and, as
yet, only by a scientific few. He cites many practical

from sewers may be averted by chemical exhibitions, and
he is himself the originator of a patented liquid of ad-
mitted deodorising power on the manures, the gases from
which would otherwise be unwholesome. He adduces
evidence, proving, from Mr. Chadwick and others. " that

all smell of decomposing matter (as relates to agriculture)
may be said to indicate loss of money."

Mr. Ellerman next advocates water-closets (in lieu of
the present general plan in all dwellings) with cisterns
containing the patent fluid, to keep them sweet as regards

health, and the expense, if such Were adopted, would be
below that of the present cess-pool system even in cot-

Turning back to the middle of the pamphlet, as afford-
ing u, a more suitable finale to this hasty notice than its
conclu-ion, we give the outline of the plan suggested by
the author. It proposes—
" Ist. The preservation of the Thames'and other waters
flowing through towns and populous districts, from pol-
lution by human exuviEe and other decomposing sub-
stances.

" 2nd. The improvement of the land, by bestowing
upon it the matter thus diverted from the water.
" 3rd. The promotion of public health, by causing
greater abundance of food and increased industrial occu-
pation.

- "4th. The collection, removal, and final distribution
of the substances referred to, in a manner which shall
render them inodorous and innocuous in every stage of
the process.

" 3th. The prevention of all deterioration of the fer-
tilizing matter by excessive dilution or admixture with
substances inimical to veg

" 6th. The preservation of the large quantity of ferti-
lizinF matter which is now wasted, irrespectively of that
consigned to rivers or streams or suffered to remain in
unemptied cesspools—viz. ; the portion sacrificed through
insufficient public urinaria, ill-regulated cloacw, constant
evaporation, &c. ; and,

"7th. The saving of the whole in such a form that it
may be conveyed to distant tracts of country as well as
adjacent lands, and applied to the earth in the more or
less liquified or concentrated condition, which the state
of the weather or the peculiar nature of soil and crop
may render expedient."
