520    In the sweltering summer of 1858 the stink of sewage from 
       the polluted Thames was so offensive that it drove Members
       of Parliament from the chamber of the House of Commons. 
       Sewage generated by a population of over two million 
       Londoners was pouring into the river and was being carried
       to and fro by the tides. The Times called the crisis "The 
       Great Stink". Parliament had to act - drastic measures 
       were required to clean the Thames and to improve London's 
       primitive system of sanitation. The great engineer 
       entrusted by Parliament with this enormous task was Sir 
       Joseph Bazalgette. This book is an account of his life and
       work.
