Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Evils of Disunity in Central and Local Administration: Especially With Relation to the Metropolis and Also on the New Centralisation for the People, Together With Importance in Codification and in Legislative Procedure
I have recently had occasion to show that, mainly by the want of unity in the executive local administration, the wage classes in Manchester are subject to an excess of preventible sickness and mortality by one-third. The Lord Provost of Glasgow declared at the recent Sanitary Congress held there, that my paper on Manchester was a cap that fitted Glasgow. I know that it does, and Dublin and other cities also; and that under unity the wage classes there might receive the same benefit at the same time. But they must, in the usual course, all continue to wait, at the expense of hosts of cases of pre ventible sickness and of premature mortality, and of expenses exceeding those of proper works of prevention, until time and attention can be got for the legislation of the Irish Chamber, and for the Scotch Chamber to follow that of the English Chamber, each of narrow and usually uncertain information on the subject.
