London (Ancient and Modern) from the Sanitary and Medical Point of View
George Vivian Poore
George Poore read London like a physician reads a patient, from its water supply to its death rate across the centuries. His survey contrasts the plague-ridden medieval city with the improving modern one and asks what the future holds. A vivid study of urban health and Victorian sanitary progress. See how one great city fought to keep itself alive.
