THE SANITARY CONDITION

OF THE

SURGEON TO ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL, AND

OFFICER OF HEALTH TO THE CITY.

MDCCC LIV.

LONDON:

SAVILL AND EDWARDS, PRINTERS, CHANDOS STREET,

COVENT GARDEN.

ΤΟ

LOUIS MICHAEL SIMON,

OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE, LONDON, AND OF

THE PARAGON, BLACKHEATH,

I DEDICATE THIS REPRINT OF MY REPORTS:

LOOKING

LESS TO WHAT LITTLE INTRINSIC MERIT THEY MAY HAVE,

THAN TO THE YEARS OF ANXIOUS LABOUR THEY REPRESENT:

DEEMING IT FIT TO ASSOCIATE

MY FATHER'S NAME

WITH A RECORD OF ENDEAVOURS TO DO MY DUTY:

BECAUSE IN THIS HE HAS BEEN MY BEST EXAMPLE;

AND

BECAUSE I COUNT IT THE HAPPIEST INFLUENCE IN MY LOT,

THAT, BOUND TO HIM BY EVERY TIE OF GRATEFUL AFFECTION,

I HAVE LIKEWISE BEEN ABLE, FROM MY EARLIEST CHILDHOOD

TILL NOW-THE EVENING OF HIS LIFE,

TO REGARD HIM WITH UNQUALIFIED AND INCREASING RESPECT.
