Original decorative stamped pebbled cloth hardcovers, with gilt titles and insignia to front and spine. Light rubbing to spine ends and corners, with some slight loss to cloth at corners.

According to Heather MacDougall in "Researching Public Health Services in Ontario, 1882-1930": "This eclectic mixture of material reflects the various strands of the public health movement and the methods which were used to generate support from politicians, the people and the professions." A superb copy of a scarce book. [lx,430+23pp.].
