"The present work, though nominally a third edition of 'Bacteria in Relation to the Economy of Nature, Industrial Processes, and the Public Health,' is virtually a new book, written with the object of supplying all that is necessary for the student of hygiene and the officer of health to know, so far as every-day problems of sanitation and preventive medicine demand.... Dr Newman has done a good work in producing a treatise which places at the service of the community what is known about all these topics."—Daily Telegraph.

"Dr Mill is to be congratulated on having now brought his information, so far as space permitted, well up to date. The most striking features of the work are its comprehensiveness and conciseness.... It would, indeed, be difficult to point to any other English work on physiography giving so much trustworthy matter in equally condensed form, yet so readable."—Athenæum.

Professor T.G.

"Dr Haldane has succeeded in packing an immense amount of knowledge and thought into the compass of a small volume. The complexity of his themes has never for a moment betrayed him into ambiguity either of thought or expression, and the pervading temptation to stray into bypaths, the failure to resist which makes the weakness of so much otherwise fine work of this class, has been most successfully resisted. The clarity of the book may fairly be described as remarkable."—Sunday Times.
