The following are some of the leading features of this important work : 



a. The entirely new and extended series of tables of velocity and discharge of circular and 



egg-shape sewers, etc. This is the first published series of such tables, based upon 

 Kutter's formula and they have been specially calculated for the work. 



b. The full manner in which all sections of the subject are illustrated, both by lithographic 



plates and smaller illustrations in the text. 



c.. The special descriptions, with illustrations of important works of Sewerage and Sewage 

 Disposal and the valuable information on the Disposal and Destruction of House 

 Refuse and Sludge. 



d. The important information on the flow of water in Pipes and Open Channels. 



e. The extensive series of Hydraulic and other Tables beyond those just mentioned. 



Considering the grave importance of Sanitary Engineering, it is remarkable that no book 

 dealing with the subject in a thorough and comprehensive manner has hitherto been published. 



In the preparation of the work Colonel Moore has availed himself of valuable information 

 furnished by leading specialists in particular branches of the subject, one of whom is the late 

 Colonel Waring, whose work in the disposal of sewage and garbage is described at length. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" No engineer can afford to be without a copy of this comprehensive manual of sanitary engineering. . . . 



" The book is ... full and complete epitome of the latest practice in sanitary engineering ; a glance at the 

 list of authorities quoted at the commencement of the work will show how thorough and how painstaking Colonel 

 Moore has been. . . . As a book of reference it is simply indispensable." The Public Health Engineer. 



" Few departments of applied science can show greater or more dangerous errors than are revealed in the 

 history of sanitation, but a volume like this shows the immense progress which has been made, and leads us to 

 think that at last we are on firm ground ... a great book, involving almost infinite labor on the part of the 

 author, and can be recommended as undoubtedly the standard work on the subject. . . . The type is ex- 

 cellent, the misprints remarkably few, the illustrations in the text most clearly drawn and reproduced, and the 

 folding plates are models of what such plates ought to be." The Builder. 



" It is the only book yet received by The Engineering Record which presents a good description of the 

 various biological systems of sewage disposal now attracting so much attention. It contains a large number of new 

 hydraulic tables of undoubted value as time and labor-saving aids in computations. Its illustrations of sewer de- 

 tails are numerous and well chosen. The subject of disposal in general is treated in an interesting manner, and 

 the information on British systems of refuse cremation it will be difficult to secure elsewhere in so convenient a 

 form. . . . The book is very good from beginning to end, and will be a valuable addition to the library of any 

 one who wishes to learn the general theory and practice of so much of sanitary engineering practice in Great 

 Britain as is embraced in its scope. The discussion of various theories of the flow in sewers, and the tables to 

 assist in applying them, is a feature which is alone worth the price of the volume."
