m "In their preface to this work the authors point out the lack of a book which deals, at g 



H all adequately from the standpoint of hygiene with the profound changes in the lives of g 



m civilized people during" the past century and a half consequent upon the rise and develop- H 



g ment of modern industry, and whilst disclaiming the possession of the erudition necessary | 



s for the task of writing such a book, refer to the experience in industrial hygiene which they 1 



M individually possess. They express the belief that they have made plain how great is the M 



^ influence of employment upon general health, how many are the opportunities presented in M 



^ industry for studying conditions which lead up to divergencies from health — divergencies ■ 



y which, when neglected, pass into disease, how ready to hand means for improving the work- 1 



g aday life of the productive classes, and how important to the whole of preventive medicine 1 



g are lessons learnt in the school of industrial hygiene. No one, after reading the book, will i 



g quarrel with such a belief. The importance of the whole matter is beyond question, and the 1 



M author's book should do much to advance its study. The introduction by Sir George New- 1 



J man shows a broadminded and wide grasp of the subject matter." m
