A long review dissects Langford’s works on Wesleyanism and infidelity, praising some insights while finding exaggerations and dogmatic tone. It then critiques J S Busman’s Cholera and Its Cures, endorsing the sanitary arguments and the saline treatment, with substantial quotes on London districts and public health reforms.

The critic praises the volume as useful and suggests it offers healthy, vigorous chapters on the press and anticipated social progress while urging alternatives to low quality literature.
