Excerpt from Food and Its Adulterations: Comprising the Reports of the Analytical Sanitary Commission of the Lancet for the Years 1851 to 1854 Inclusive, Revised and Extended
Called to take the lead in the sanitary movement, at an important and critical period of its progress, you have already been the means of effecting much good, and doubtless, when sufficient time has elapsed for maturing your views, a still larger amount of benefit to the public will result.
The importance of Sanitary Reform is fully recognised by the people, who are quite prepared to support any measures that may be requisite for carrying it into effect, and I trust that Parliament will be found equally so when appealed to, as it will doubtless be, during the next session. It must have been apparent to all who had anything to do with carrying out sanitary measures during the epidemic which has just passed from amongst us, that the powers of the General Board of Health, as at present constituted, are wholly inadequate to deal successfully with an emergency of this kind , they are equally so even for ordinary exigencies connected with the Public Health.
I have been led to dedicate this work to you because, treating as it does of an important branch of Public Hygeine, it appeared to me that you, as the Head of Sanitary Reform in this country, were of all others the fittest person to whom it should be addressed , moreover, you have already announced your intention of dealing with the question of Adulteration.
