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.</p> <p>This copy of The Health of Nations was presented by Richardson to the Liverpool Library on Jan. 24 1889.

1940148508Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1940. Vintage borderless photograph of Preston Sturges and Muriel Angelus on the set of the 1940 film. Mimeo snipe and "Paramount Photo by G.E. Richardson" stamp on verso. <br/><br/>Sturges had become a very successful Hollywood screenwriter by the late 1930s and with his screenplay for "The Biography of a Bum" wanted so much to direct the film that he offered to do the job for free. With very few exceptions notably Charlie Chaplin the notion of an established studio writer directing a film was nearly unheard of in Hollywood where writers were typically not even allowed on the set. Only the irresistible cheapness of Sturges' offer made it possible for the film to get made. <br/><br/>Over the six year period during which the script remained unproduced the title changed to "The Vagrant" then "Down with McGinty" then finally just prior to production to "The Great McGinty." It was not only a success but won Sturges an Oscar for Best Screenplay. More importantly he was allowed to continue as a writer-director with a magnificent career that included one classic after another including "Sullivan's Travels" "The Lady Eve" "Unfaithfully Yours" "The Palm Beach Story" and "Hail the Conquering Hero."<br/><br/>8 x 10 inches.
