Percy Boulnois wrote the handbook for the municipal surveyor: roads, drains, nuisances and the machinery of sanitary administration. A thorough professional record of the plumbing of civic life. Meet the unsung officials who engineered public health.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
