A History of Epidemics in Britain, Volume 2 (of 2)
Charles Creighton
London's typhus never truly left; it smouldered in the poorest streets between the great outbreaks. Creighton's second volume runs from the Great Plague through Sydenham's fever seasons, smallpox and the epidemic constitutions of the later centuries. The companion to a landmark survey, read as history of medicine and social record. Follow British contagion into the modern age.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
