DweELuinc Houses. Their Sanitary Construction and Arrangement. By Prof. 
W. H. Corfield, M. A., M. D. (Oxon.) D. Van Nostrand, New York. 
18 mo. pp. 156, 50 cents. 
This is Number 50 of Van Nostrand’s Science Series, reprinted from Van 
Nostrand’s Engineering Magazine, and is a very valuable, practical essay, by a 
distinguished architect and professor of the University College, London, upon a 
subject of absorbing interest to all classes of society. 
Situation and construction of houses from foundation to roof, including 
drainage, ventilation, heating and all other points, are fully considered and dis- 
cussed froma scientific and common sense standpoint, and the little volume pre- 
sents a competent guide to the builder and owner of dwelling houses. A few 
pages from it were published in the Review last year and attracted marked at- 
tention.
