First Edition
First Edition. Octavo. Sewn pamphlet; printed paper wrappers; 58pp. Rear wrapper (blank) lacking; front wrapper with small losses at corners (away from printed area); text complete and fresh - a Very Good copy. The chief work by Griscom (1809-1874), a foundational figure in the public health movement in the U.S. This study, based on a similar work published a few years earlier by the British physician Edwin Chadwick (Report on The Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population of Great Britain, 1842), was the result of Griscom's careful correlation of housing and health data, collected while serving as City Inspector and head of the New York City Health Department. His recommendations that the working poor needed better housing, sanitation, and access to clean drinking water led to widespread reforms in New York and other East Coast metropolises.
