Excerpt from The Bibliophile Library of Literature, Art, and Rare Manuscripts, Vol. 9 of 30: History, Biography, Science, Poetry, Drama, Travel, Adventure, Fiction, and Rare and Little-Known Literature From the Archives of the Great Libraries of the World
I desire to make a few Observations regarding the Great Plague of London, which may be of use hereafter to those into whose Hands this may come, if they should ever see the like dreadful Visitation. The Infection generally came into the Houses of the Citizens, by the Means of their Servants, who they were obliged to send up and down the Streets for Necessaries, that is to say, for Food, or Physick, to Bake-houses, Brew-houses, Shops, Markets, and the like, it was impossible, but that they should one way or other meet with distempered people, who conveyed the fatal Breath into them, and they brought it Home to the Families, to which they belonged. It was a great Mistake, that such a great City as this had but one Pest House; for had there been, instead of one pest-house, viz., beyond bumbil-fields, where, at most, they could receive, per haps, 200 or 300 People; I say, had there instead of that one been several Pest-houses, every one able to contain a thousand People Without lying two in a Bed, or two Beds in a Room.
