Book excerpt: 'An extraordinary history' PETER ACKROYD, The Times 'A lively account of (Bazalgette's) magnificent achievements. . . graphically illustrated' HERMIONE HOBHOUSE 'Halliday is good on sanitary engineering and even better on cloaca, crud and putrefaction . . . (he) writes with the relish of one who savours his subject and has deeply researched it. . . splendidly illustrated' RUTH RENDELL In the sweltering summer of 1858, sewage generated by over two million Londoners was pouring into the Thames, producing a stink so offensive that it drove Members of Parliament from the chamber of the House of Commons. The Times called the crisis 'The Great Stink'. Parliament had to act – drastic measures were required to clean the Thames and to improve London's primitive system of sanitation. The great engineer entrusted with this enormous task was Sir Joseph Bazalgette, who rose to the challenge and built the system of intercepting sewers, pumping stations and treatment works that serves London to this day. In the process, he cleansed the Thames and helped banish cholera. The Great Stink of London offers a vivid insight into Bazalgette's achievements and the era in which he worked and lived, including his heroic battles with politicians and bureaucrats that would transform the face and health of the world's then largest city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farmer's Magazine, Vol. 6: January to June, MDCCCXXXVII Gentlemen, - Mr. Shaw Lefevre's Letter to his Constituents, coming from the chairman of the late agricultural committee, must be considered as an address to the agriculturists of England generally. Mr. Lefevre has now laid his own view of the evidence, his own opinions, wishes, and expectations before the tillage farmers; and as many of these are, possibly, quite as competent as himself to form an opinion as to the cause or causes of their depressed state, and the best remedies for it, some of them will, it is hoped, publish the result of their reflections. Belonging myself to that unfortunate and apparently doomed class of men, I shall not hesitate to make known my view of the subject, and to point out whatever may seem untenable or objectionable in Mr. Lefevre's publication. Of this gentleman I know nothing at all, but from his letter, from which it appears to me evident enough, that he belongs to the free-trading school of philosophers; a sect, whose leaders have ever been hostile to landed property and agricultural industry, in this country; arising, perhaps, from some mental obliquity, which I leave to the phrenologists to explain. Such, however, being the fact, it behoves us to be very cautious how we trust to their authority or opinions; and even in Mr. Lefevre's case, I think he would have acted a more manly, as well as a more consistent, part, if he had, at once, proposed to establish, at some fixed period, a free trade altogether in corn, and in every other commodity, instead of trying to take away piece-meal, the very moderate protection afforded by the present corn laws; leaving, at the same time, untouched, such ample protecting duties for all the other producing classes. Events have indeed shown that the protection afforded to the farmer by corn laws, has been greatly over-rated, and that the monetary system adopted has had far greater influence on his fate, still they give some protection; they are a security against importation of corn at very low prices, which might, otherwise, sometimes occur. But perhaps the public as consumers, are quite as much interested in corn laws as the farmer; for although the usual price of corn would probably be lower with open ports, than under restriction, the average price might not; and considering the corn regulations of most other countries, and the practice among some of them, of levying duties on their exported corn, when most in demand, there is no certain dependence on obtaining a large foreign supply, in a time of great and unexpected demand, which must sometimes happen with a bad crop at home, after such a greatly contracted breadth of tillage, as would certainly be the result of unrestricted import. Mr. Lefevre, indeed, thinks that no considerable extent of land will cease to be cultivated with wheat at 50s a quarter, and he may possibly say the same thing of a free trade, but every real farmer must know better; and Mr. Malthus is right in saying, "In all progressive countries the average price of corn is never higher than what is necessary to continue the average increase of produce." The expediency of restriction, or no restriction, taken in all its bearings, as regards the farmer and the public, is, indeed, a very difficult question to decide, and as it will perhaps be put to the proof, those who are friends to the land and to agriculture, ought to insist, that all taxes and burdens be more equally apportioned, than at present, among the different classes of the community; and that if there is to be an open trade in corn, that there be an open trade also in all the products of industry; for this, surely, cannot be inconsistent with the abstract theories of perfectibility, which seem likely to prevail. Of the savings in local burthens, noticed by Mr. Lefevre, I shall observe that those to be made in the county and highway rates, cannot give much relief, and from the amended poor l...

Per acre on the average; but this did not include the sluices, which are of oak, and cost about 28. 6d. Each. In the earlier and middle parts of the work, I found these to average about ten to the acre but in the por tion most recently irrigated the sluices are not yet put down. Clods are used instead but they some times burst, and always tend to deposit soil in the gutters, besides occupying much more time in placing and removing than the management of sluices would. It is but fair, therefore, to add the cost of sluices to the capital account, making alto gether an average of £4 98. Per acre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farmer's Magazine, Vol. 23: Second Series, January to June, 1851 It has been shown, amongst other important facts, that the ideas entertained by the farmers of a by-gone generation, with regard to the mode in which a fertilizer increases the growth of a plant, were generally incorrect, and not seldom worse than useless, as leading to the adoption of unmeaning attempts and false principles of action. That the food consumed by an animal furnished all the ingredients of which that animal is composed, is a self-evident conclusion, to which the learned physician very readily and at a very early period arrived. He could not, for instance, attribute the origin of the bones of animals to any other source than to the animal and vegetable matters on which they fed - that is, chiefly to the phosphate of lime contained in their daily bread. He found, too, in certain diseases where this salt was ill-supplied to the growing animal, that its bones became soft; his reason, therefore, suggested to him a ready cure. He gave, and with success, to such ricketty patients a supply of either the flour of bone, or ivory dust, or of some other substance in which this essential salt of bones abounds; and this he did because he found that by such treatment the patient assimilated a larger proportion of this "bore earth." The bones, therefore, were hardened - the cure completed. In the same way it was noted that when poultry were confined in situations where they could not obtain access to calcareous matters, that then they laid their eggs without shells. It was found by every house-wife to be a ready cure for this malformation, to give them a supply of the chalk or carbonate of lime, of which these shells are almost entirely composed, and which it is evident they could not generate for the purpose. All these things, in the case of animals, was very soon perceived, the cause was reasoned upon; the deficient salt successfully supplied. But it was much longer before men began to apply this chain of reasoning to the wants of cultivated plants, and the deficiency of the soil on which these cultivated crops of the farmer grew. To them a different kind of reasoning was directed. It was imagined that plants generated, as it were, their own ingredients - that is, formed by some unknown process all their earthy and saline ingredients, and of the air which surrounded or the water which nourished them; and although it was in a very early period seen that plants contained a considerable portion of these earthy and saline matters, yet few useful attempts were made to prove to the farmer that these ingredients being furnished by the soil to the plant, so, in consequence, those soils which could not yield them were the "poor soils" of the farmer, and those which could copiously supply them were the "rich soils." Rather than arrive at this practically useful conclusion, all kinds of erroneous or unmeaning reasons were employed. It was said, for instance, that the inferior soils were "too hot," or "too cold;" that the application of manure "cooled" the first and "warmed" the last. No one deemed it more rational to acknowledge that, as the animal procured all the ingredients of which its substance was composed from the vegetables which formed its food, so these plants must, in their turn, procure their fixed, that is, earthy or saline materials, from the soil on which they grew, and that when these were exhausted by successive crops then the ground would become less productive, or barren - rather than adopt this very useful conclusion, all kinds of mere verbiage was employed. It was said that the ground was "tired," that it wanted "rest" and when it was accidently found out that the use of crushed bones was a powerful manure for turnips on the light soils of England; and, further, when it was proved by the chemist that the bones were composed of one-half of their weight of phosphate of lime, and that this was an essential and abounding ingredient ...
