Excerpt from book: with sewage it will retain its efficiency for a long, if not for an unlimited period of time, and its pores will not become clogged up. With a properly constituted soil, well and deeply drained, nothing more would be necessary than to level the surface and to divide it into equal plots, each of which in succession would then receive the sewage for six hours. In this way the sewage of a water closet town of 10,000 inhabitants could at a very moderate estimate be cleansed upon 5 acres of land, if the latter were well drained to a depth of 6 feet.

Encouraged by the results, Mr. B. Denton, appointed by the Court of Chancery to devise a scheme for purifying the sewage at Merthyr in Wales, tried the system.
