Abstract

A series of observations as to the history of the urban environment lead into study of the City of London and the history of its residual waters problem, following this through from the 14th Century to the "Great Stink" bred by the contamination saturation of the Thames in 1858. The seperate issues in this process —technical, political and most especially the scientific remedies thrown up to meet the problem— are closely examined, the scientific sort receiving the lion's share of attention given the great variety and contrast among them bred by their differing initial disciplinary view points. The work finishes with a summary of the conclusions offered by it
