Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on the Science and Art of Sanitary Plumbing
When asked by the chairman of the National Health Society, Mr. Ernest Hart, to give a series of lectures on. Plumbing to plumbers, a doubt crossed my mind as to whether we should be able to get a good attendance of plumbers to hear them; for plumbers are, as a class, very inde pendent, and difficult to draw out; they are still more difficult to turn, especially when they have a roll of lead on their shoulders.
Therefore, before deciding to deliver these lectures, I asked Mr. Hart to give me a week to think over the matter, and for enquiries to be made of the general London working plumbers, to hear whether they would be likely to attend in any force. I soon found that any doubt as to the interest plumbers would take in these lectures might be instantly removed, and the attendance.
