    the progress of sanitary reform, or to trace the alterations which were made in the several Bills after they were introduced to Parliament, until they became law. That, at which the work aims, is to furnish to those engaged in the administration of the Law, and in the advancement of sanitary reform, a practically useful treatise or exposition of the Laws relating to Public Health and Local Self-Government, as they exist on the Statute Book, and as they are expounded by the Courts of Law. The work is divided into three Parts: the First Part treats of the formation of the districts of the Local Boards, the constitution of those Boards, their election and general powers; the Second Part, of their powers as to sanitary matters and local self-government; and the Third Part, of their powers as to rating, raising money on mortgage of the rates, purchase of lands, audit of accounts, contracts, arbitration, legal proceedings, bye-laws and other miscellaneous subjects. The work con¬ cludes with the Public Health Act, 1848, the Local Government Act, 1858, and the other Acts incorporated with those Acts. The favourable manner in which the author’s other publications on the subject of the Poor-Laws and Sanitary Laws have been received induces him to anticipate an equally favourably recej)tion of his present work.
