This work contains concise reports on the sanitary situation of London during the mid-1800s officially addressed to the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London. These were printed initially only for the use of the Corporation. These general interest reports put in front of the public eye the sanitary negligence that was affecting the city of London. The author of this work, Sir John Simon, was an English surgeon and public health reformer. His struggles for the betterment of the hygienic quality of urban life led to the establishment of modern standards of public health service. His fight for public health legislation resulted in the Sanitary Act of 1866 and the Public Health Act of 1875. Contents include: Dedication Preface First Annual Report Further Remarks on Water-supply Second Annual Report Third Annual Report Fourth Annual Report Fifth Annual Report Appendix of Tables Illustrating the Sanitary Condition of the City of London Report on City Burial-Grounds Report on Extramural Interments
"Adopting the guise of a flaneur, Wilson reconsiders the classical imagery of the city from the viewpoints of diverse groups of women: bourgeois wives, prostitutes, transvestite writers, and others. Its originality resides in its deft, consistently provocative interweaving of underground feminist discourses with the familiar, male-infected rhetorics of urban experience."—Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz
