Excerpt from House Drainage Manual: A Guide to the Design and Construction of Systems of Drainage and Sewage Disposal From Houses

A complete treatise on drainage would be of the nature of a trilogy, in that it would have to discuss phenomena at the entrant end of the system, in the connecting ducts, and at the exit end. Each of these divisions can, however, with advantage be treated separately, and this book is the outcome of an effort to consider in the light of modern knowledge more especially the principles to be followed in the proper designing and the apparatus connected with the due construction of' the entrant end of a drainage system. Reference has necessarily been made to the other parts of a system in order to obtain a better understanding of that which has been treated more fully. The preparation of even a short work of this kind takes considerable time, and in these days of rapid progress there must necessarily be apparatus that remains undescribed. The great point to be aimed at is a clear conception of the principles to be followed. The reader having obtained such knowledge will be able to discriminate between the various apparatus as to which is most suitable for any specific purpose.

In order to make the work of greater service to property owners and leaseholders, comprehensive chapters have been added on the law relating to house drainage.
