Excerpt from Municipal Engineering and Sanitation This volume is intended for that large and rapidly growing class of persons who, either as officials or as citizens, are striving to improve municipal conditions. It is designed to be a review of the whole field of municipal engineering and sanitation, rather than an exhaustive study of one or a few branches of the subject. The most vital points, however, under each class of activities and interests have been dwelt upon, the underlying principles stated, and, in many instances, details from actual practice given. While it is not to be expected that engineers and sanitarians will find in the book much relating to their specialties that is new to them, it is believed that the number and variety of subjects treated, and the comparative newness of some of the topics, will make the book helpful even to professional men. A few standard treatises have been mentioned in the text or in footnotes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Encyclopaedia of Municipal and Sanitary Engineering: A Handy Working Guide in All Matters Connected With Municipal and Sanitary Engineering and Administration In the present day the constant addition to the duties and responsibilities of local authorities imposes upon them many new departments of work, and at the same time intensifies existing powers and obligations in all matters of municipal and sanitary engineering. It has thus become well-nigh impossible for those interested in local administration to keep themselves informed, even in general outline, on the many and varied subjects to which attention is now demanded by the State. The requisite information can only be gained by the expenditure of time, labour, and money in searching through a mass of literature mainly in the form of papers and reports. For the first time such information is presented in dictionary form, convenient for immediate reference. To further facilitate this, the longer articles are divided into sections, the order of which, as well as the pith and scope of the article, being shown by a brief index at the head. Acts of Parliament affecting the various subjects dealt with are quoted when necessary, and a careful system of cross-referencing has been followed in order that the reader may rapidly acquire information on the cognate aspects of a subject. The work has been prepared by many leading experts, whose experience in the matters with which they deal is well known; but the information has been gathered from all parts of the world, and the Editors tender cordial thanks to all those engineers and local authorities who have so readily placed the results of practical experience at their disposal. The Editors desire to record the assistance they have received from Mr. G. Cadogan Rothery and Mr. C. F. Twenty in planning and editing "The Encyclopaedia."

Excerpt from Sanitation and Sanitary Engineering The subject discussed in these pages was, up to within a few years, comparatively unknown. Sanitary engineering - 1ike electrical engineering - is one of the recent branches of civil engineering; sanitary science, the researches of which form its foundations, is a new science, which has, in the past few years, made such rapid strides that its importance is beginning to be more universally recognized. The general public has but a vague idea of the meaning of the term sanitary engineering. Many mistaken or narrow views exist in regard thereto, and it is with a view of dispelling these that this book is published.
