While it is hoped that these pages will have some value and will offer some suggestion for engineers, they have been written with a view, as well, to the information of sewerage-committee men and others who may have occasion to look at the subject from-the layman's point of view. Especial attention is given, in the last two chapters, to the needs of isolated buildings, now so universally depend- ent on the noisome and death-dealing cesspool, which is, facile princeps, the great sanitary curse of the country. The chapter on Chemical Treatment (XIV.) owes its arrangement and its completeness to my secretary and friend, Mr. G. Everett Hill, whose untiring research and discreet selection I desire most cordially to acknowledge. Newport, R.I., April, 1894. G. E. W., Jr.
