Public Health and Housing:
=The Influence of the Dwelling upon Health in Relation to the Changing
Style of Habitation.= By JOHN F. J. SYKES, M.D., _D.Sc._ (_Public
Health_) _Edin.; Medical Officer of Health, St. Pancras, etc., etc._
Crown 8vo, cloth, 224 pp.; numerous Diagrams and Statistical Tables.
=5s.= net.
_Scotsman._--“The clear view given, both of the ascertained facts
relating to the effects had upon health by varying conditions of
habitation, and of the means devised by hygienic and architectural
skill for preventing and remedying the public ills that spring from
bad dwellings, recommend them not only to medical men but also to all
sorts of publicists interested in the housing question; and the book
deserves a hearty welcome from thoughtful students of its subject.”
The Cottage Homes of England:
=The Case against the Housing System in Rural Districts.= By W. WALTER
CROTCH. _Second Edition; revised and enlarged._ Crown 8vo, cloth, 160
pp. =2s.= net.
_Pall Mall Gazette._--“A really useful book.... It deals with the
housing problem in a plain, straightforward, practical fashion.”
_Spectator._--“We welcome it as a contribution of value to an
important question.”
_Daily News._--“Mr. Crotch wields a pretty pen and draws his pictures
of bad housing in settings of rural loveliness vividly and with a nice
appreciation of the appalling contrasts. His plea ... is unanswerable.”
The Place of Compensation in Temperance Reform.
By C. P. SANGER, M.A., _Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge;
Barrister-at-Law_. Crown 8vo, cloth, =2s. 6d.= net.
_Glasgow Herald._--“This little book will be found very useful by
those who have become recently interested in the temperance question
and are apt to be troubled by rival declamations upon the ethics of
compensation.... Mr. Sanger is to be commended for his dispassionate
and lucid exposition of a question which prejudice has sadly darkened
and confused.”
_Economic Review._--“Mr. Sanger has written a timely and instructive
little book, which thoroughly deserves its place among the series of
_Studies in Economics and Political Science_.”
Elements of Statistics.
By ARTHUR L. BOWLEY, M.A., F.S.S., _Lecturer in Statistics at the
London School of Economics_; _Guy Silver Medallist of the Royal
Statistical Society_. Edited by Prof. W. A. S. HEWINS, M.A., _Director
of the London School of Economics_. Demy 8vo, cloth, 342 pp., numerous
Diagrams, =10s. 6d.= net.
_Economic Journal._--“The London School of Economics has, since its
foundation, had systematic courses of lectures on the elements of
statistics, and the school therefore is entitled to share with Mr.
Bowley the congratulations which are due to him for supplying a
long-felt want. Without further ado it may be plainly stated that,
whatever its shortcomings, this book is the best on the Elements of
Statistics written in English, French, German or Italian.”
