In 1838 Chadwick who was then the secretary of the Poor Law Commissioners initiated a series of investigations into the living conditions of London's working poor and pauper classes. The findings of these investigations published in 1842-43 resulted in the passage of the Public Health Act of 1848 and a number of other important public health reforms. Chadwick was the first to advocate national responsibility for proper drainage street cleaning lighting and water supply and health care; the principles he enunciated form the basis of public health as we know it today. This copy of The Health of Nations was presented by Richardson to the Liverpool Library on Jan. 24 1889. The presentation notice reads: "Dear Sir My much esteemed friend Mr. Edwin Chadwick C.B. this day entering his ninetieth year desires me to present in his name the two accompanying volumes of "The Health of Nations" to the library of your Institution.
