Most Japanese scholars of English economic history, specialists of the Industrial Revolution, have concentrated their attention upon the economic development of England at that time. The author has, however, maintained that it was also necessary for them to pay attention to such aspects of the Industrial Revolution as the public health problem, the pollution of air and river, urbanization, and so on, other than the economic development alone, since the Industrial Revolution, which was brought about by the rapid growth of the "productive power", changed the society from top to toe. The author, investigating the relation between the "Chadwick's Report of 1842" and the Public Health Act of 1848, wondered why the Act was treated in so cold a way and repealed, at last, in 1854, in spite of the filthy and unhealthy living conditions of the working class. And he has found out the strained relation between the Board of General Health and Local Authorities. Though the solution of the public health problem was put off untill as late as 1870's, the Victorian people defended the self-government of borough against the central control of the government.
