Chadwick reports on the sanitary condition of the labouring population

Assembled from 29 blocks · 1 evidence · 22 related

1. Story
2. Edwin Chadwick set out parish mortality data by class and place, showing average ages at death in industrial towns far below those in rural counties. His mechanism — miasma — was wrong, and his prescription — drainage, water supply, refuse removal — was right. The report made urban mortality a statistical argument rather than an impression, and it is the foundation of the public health legislation that followed.
