The late Dr. Letheby, City Officer of Health, 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Barraud and Jerrard. Henry Letheby...was a lecturer on chemistry and toxicology...[and] the author of many useful investigations and reports concerning the sanitary state of the metropolis [London]...A series of papers by him in "the Lancet" contained much advice upon the mode of conducting post-mortem examinations in the case of suspected murder by poison...Since his appointment as Medical Officer of Health for the City of London, with which he joined that of chemical analyst in the service of the Corporation, his attention has been more devoted to the common danger of involuntary poisoning by sewer-gas and foul water and imperfect ventilation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
