Rideal, Samuel. Sewage and the bacterial purification of sewage. $4. Wiley.

A third and enlarged edition of a work which “consists chiefly of a statement of the problem of sewage treatment and of the principles involved and methods employed in the solution of that problem, together with a review of some of the large number of experiments on sewage.... It covers some events and literature well into 1906.”—Engin. N.


“By means of the present revision, Dr. Rideal’s book becomes the most up-to-date and the best general work on sewage treatment now available.”

“It seems to be generally acknowledged among sanitary engineers that this work is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject in the English language, and the appearance of a third edition recently is only natural in view of the high standing which the book has won.”
