Abstract
THE passing of Dr. Maitland Radford, medical officer of health of St. Pancras, at the age of fifty-nine, is of more than local or professional significance. He was a rationalist, reared in a progressive if not revolutionary atmosphere, with Shaw, Wells, William Morris and Bradlaugh as friends of his family. He was a nephew of Graham Wallas, whose influence he always gratefully acknowledged. Educated at Abbotsholme and University College Hospital, his career in public health was that of a successful and efficient sanitarian. But, as a close colleague of his has written, "he was not a man to allow the local trees to obscure his vision of the public health wood, or as he might have said, the public health jungle".
