Edwin Chadwick (1800-1890) is most famous for his contributions to the public health movement of the nineteenth century where his 1842 Report on the Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population highlighted the unsanitary conditions that prevailed in the industrial towns and cities of Victorian Britain. While particular cities are mentioned in his work, such as London, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool, his work had an effect on Britain as a whole as it changed government policy on a national level. Other facets of social welfare in which he was actively involved included the Poor Law, police, education and the evolving responsibilites of central and local government. This collection includes a reprint of Finer's biography, The Life and Times of Sir Edwin Chadwick, Chadwick's 1842 Sanitary Report and many of his rarer pamphlets and addresses to learned societies. Each of the volumes also contains a specially prepared Introduction.
A revisionist account of the story of the foundations of public health in industrial revolution Britain.
"Chadwick may be said to have initiated the public health era. Largely through his efforts the Public Health Act 1848 came into existence in England. He was the greatest sanitarian of the nineteenth century; among other things he was responsible for the introduction of glazed earthenware pipes for drains" - Fielding H. Garrison and Leslie T. Morton's A Medical Bibliography.
This report includes a careful analysis of causes of death in 1838 and 1839 and gives a clear description of insanitary conditions in England and Wales. Due to this and an earlier 1833 report, the foundations of later systems of government inspection were laid, a Public Health Act was passed in 1848, and a General Board of Health was established. Includes maps illustrating public health issues such as deaths, contagious or epidemic diseases, housing conditions, etc.
