    Every effort, however, has been made that they should be as few as possible. It is with pleasure that I record the invariable courtesy with which I was treated by the many officials connected with the public health service, whom I met when abroad ; and I take this opportunity of expressing to them, one and all, my thanks. I am indebted to the Editors of The Medical /Magazine, and Public Health, for permission to utilise material con- tributed to their pages ; and especially to the Editors of the The Lancet. Indeed, the chapters on the Scandinavian capitals (together with the diagrams illustrating them), are reprinted almost as they were written by me for the last named journal, while acting as one of their Special Com- missioners. I have to thank Dr. Weyl, of Berlin, for permission to use Figs, i, 2, 3, and 4; and my publishers for S, 12, and 18. Those illustrating the housing of the working classes in Berlin are taken from the publications of the Centralstel/e fi'tr Arbeiterzvohlfahrtseinrichtungen, and Fig. 17 from M. Cacheux’ book on E/at des Maisons Ouvricres d la fin d/e xix. Sit'de. Lastly, Ij have to thank my friend Dr. Young, Assistant Medical Officer of Health to the London County Council, for many useful suggestions. T. M. L.
