    information collected, without forming a report by far too voluminous to engage the attention of the public. In fact, had they not confined themselves, in their task, to simply reducing to a lucid form the information thus afforded, a work as large, almost, as a blue book, the result of a Parlia¬ mentary inquiry, would have been produced, many more of which are printed than read. The Committee trust that the Report which they now present will be the means of diffusing much valuable in¬ formation as to the present sanitary condition of London, and of exciting an interest which, they are firmly convinced, if once awakened in the minds of the middle and operative classes, will not be allowed to slumber, but be productive of real and permanent benefit.
