Book excerpt: 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.
