INDUSTRIAL POISONING FROM FUMES, GASES AND POISONS OF MANUFACTURING PROCESSES BY DR. J. RAMBOUSEK PROFESSOR OF FACTORY HYGIENE, AND CHIEF STATE HEALTH OFFICER, PRAGUE TRANSLATED AND EDITED BY THOMAS M. LEGGE, M.D., D.P.H. H.M. MEDICAL INSPECTOR OF FACTORIES JOINT AUTHOR OF ‘LEAD POISONING AND LEAD ABSORPTION’ WITH ILLUSTRATIONS LONDON EDWARD ARNOLD 1913 TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE I undertook the translation of Dr. Rambousek’s book because it seemed to me to treat the subject of industrial poisons in as novel, comprehensive, and systematic a manner as was possible within the compass of a single volume. Having learnt much myself from Continental writings on industrial diseases and factory hygiene, I was anxious to let others also see how wide a field they had covered and how thorough were the regulations for dangerous trades abroad, especially in Germany. A praiseworthy feature of Dr. Rambousek’s book was the wealth of references to the work of foreign writers which is made on almost every page. To have left these names and references, however, in the text as he has done would have made the translation tedious reading, and therefore for the sake of those who desire to pursue inquiry further I have adopted the course of collecting the great majority and placing them all together in an appendix at the end of the volume.
