Fumifugium: or the inconveniencie of the aer and smoak of London dissipated. Together with some remedies humbly proposed.
London: Gabriel Bedel, 1661.
A pioneering attack on air pollution caused by “the hellish and dismall cloud of sea-coal” which perpetually enveloped London. Of course, the problems Evelyn wrote about did not go away, and the work continued to be reprinted, with at least four editions published in the 20th century, including one in 1961 by the National Society for Clean Air.
