The Author was induced to undertake this inquiry, with a view to the general introduction of abattoirs into this country, as a branch of the sanitary system, and he has also endeavoured to dis- cuss the question of their applicability as a commercial undertaking.
He has here given such a selection from the information current on this subject as he conceives to be most interesting and consistent with the objects of the Institution. The Paper is illustrated by an engraving of the Abattoir Mont- martre, impressions of which are permitted to be taken for the use of the Minutes of Proceedings.
