DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Rudimentary Treatise on the Drainage of Towns and Buildings: Suggestive of Sanatory Regulations Conducive to the Health of an Increasing Population Two volumes of the Rudimentary Series - "The Art of Draining Districts and Lands, and the work now submitted to the reader - relate to the subject of drainage generally, with water supply as an auxiliary or necessary contingent: the removal of surplus waters and refuse on the one hand, and the supply of pure water on the other. The one volume applies to Districts and Lands; the other to Towns and Buildings. It becomes necessary to remark in this (the Third) Edition of the present work, that when the late Mr. Dempsey prepared the First and Second Editions, the whole subject of the Drainage of the Metropolis was in confusion. The most eminent engineers were in conflict as to the best mode of attaining the desired end. The plan eventually adopted, and now (1865) in progress, differs from that which Mr. Dempsey and many other engineers recommended. This, of course, is not conclusive as to the relative merits of the different schemes. Who were right and who were wrong, in these speculations, we shall not know for many years to come; until the Intercepting Main Drainage plan shall have had a fair trial by long-continued working. On this account it seems desirable to leave Mr. Dempsey's calculations and deductions in their original form; because they embody, or rather illustrate, one particular principle of Drainage, which may probably apply to many other large towns, irrespective of its adoption or rejection in the metropolis. By greatly enlarging the Appendix, space has been found for a succinct account of all that has been done in relation to the Main Drainage Scheme since the publication of the Second Edition of this volume, in 1854.
