Edwin Chadwick sent inspectors into the courts and cellars of industrial Britain and came back with a portrait of squalor no government could ignore. His famous report ties filth, foul water and early death to the condition of the laboring poor. A founding document of the modern public-health movement. Read the survey that shamed a nation into cleaning its cities.
