Excerpt from The Preservation of Fish Life in Rivers by the Exclusion of Town Sewage
They die in you rich sky, They faint on hill, on field, or river Our echoes roll from soul to soul, And grow for ever and for ever. Blow, bugle blow, set the wild echoes flying, And answer, echoes answer - dying, dying, dying.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the widespread contamination of rivers by town sewage and the problems it causes for fish populations and human health. It was written in 1883, amid a growing awareness of the unsanitary conditions created by rapidly industrializing cities, which poured untreated sewage into waterways. The text argues that sewage pollution not only decimated fish numbers but also created breeding grounds for disease, contributing to the staggeringly high mortality rates of the period. The text weighs the pros and cons of various remedies to this pressing problem, from irrigation and diversion to chemical treatment, and suggests that chemical treatment holds the most promise for cities such as London with vast quantities of sewage to dispose of.
