Excerpt from Unhealthiness of London, and the Necessity of Remedial Measures: Being a Lecture Delivered at the Western and Eastern Literary and Scientific Institutions, Leicester Square, and Hackney Road Gentlemen, I Have the honour to appear before you, on this occasion, as a member of the Health of Towns Association, chiefly, however, as a member of the Health of London Association. These two Associations have been formed by philanthropic noblemen and gentlemen, who felt the necessity of some combined efforts being made to improve the health, and with the health, the moral, social, intellectual, and religious condition of the inhabitants of our great towns. The first Association embraces in its operations the towns in England, the last confines its efforts to London. By the Health of Towns Association, great progress has been made in enlightening the public mind, and much good has been effected. The Health of London Association, though of recent origin, has already brought forth good fruit. Three thousand lists of fifty-one queries, as to the circumstances affecting the health of the metropolis, have been circulated amongst the most intelligent men, and the best informed classes, and a Digest of the information contained in the replies, returned to these queries, has been made, and most extensively circulated.
