The History of Plague (Classic Reprint): As It Has Lately Appeared in the Islands of Malta, Gozo, Corfu, Cephalonia, &c., Detailing Important Facts, ... of the Means Adopted for Its Eradication - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Uncover how plague shaped public health actions across Malta, Corfu, Cephalonia, and beyond. This historical study compiles documented plagues in the Mediterranean and the measures used to protect communities, showing how contagion was identified and controlled through quarantine, cordons, and targeted cleanup. The book presents the evidence behind the view that plague is contagious, drawing on official reports, case histories, and official responses from the period.
The work frames the rise of public health practices in a time when authorities struggled to balance trade, travel, and safety. It focuses on concrete events, including the implementation of lazarettos, cordons, and strict separation of the infected from the healthy. You’ll find a clear narrative of how communities responded, what procedures proved effective, and why certain measures were considered essential to stopping the disease.
- Learn how authorities established quarantine and lazaretto systems to isolate cases.
- See how cordons and forced separation were used to protect surrounding towns and ships.
- Understand how contaminated goods and smuggling were linked to outbreaks and how those sources were addressed.
- Read about the judgments and debates around contagion, and the practical proof cited in 18th- and early 19th-century cases.
Ideal for readers of medical history and public health, this edition offers a grounded, documentary look at past plague outbreaks and the lessons they left for later policy.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a historical account of five instances of the bubonic plague in Malta, Gozo, Corfu, and Cephalonia from 1813 to 1814. The author was a surgeon tasked with overseeing efforts to quarantine and treat victims during each outbreak. Due to its location in the Mediterranean, Malta was subject to regular trade and travel, which made it vulnerable to the plague. As a result, the people of Malta developed stringent and often successful methods for preventing the spread of the disease. Their efforts included isolating infected individuals, strict oversight of incoming ships, and thorough cleansing of potentially affected goods. The book contrasts these methods with the less successful but more common practice of the time, which was to treat the disease with bloodletting and other questionable treatments. The author argues that the success of the Maltese methods not only saved lives during these outbreaks but that variations of these methods can continue to prevent the spread of the plague and other infectious diseases.
