SMITH, (THOMAS) SOUTHWOOD M.D. (1788-1861). The Common Nature of Epidemics and their Relation to Climate and Civilization. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1866. Apparent FIRST AMERICAN EDITION published the same year as the British edition, edited by T. Baker, brown cloth, 130 pp., top of spine worn with small splits at upper joints, title page browned. This is a collection of his writings published posthumously. The Royal College of Physicians wrote, “…(Southwood) was admitted a Licentiate of the College of Physicians 25th June 1821, and a Fellow 9th July 1847. He was appointed physician to the Fever hospital in 1824. From the commencement of his medical life, Dr. Smith had realised the fact that prevention of disease is easier and more important than its cure, and he applied himself specially to the improvement of sanitary medicine, of which most important science he was one of the earliest and most intelligent pioneers in this country. In 1839 he aided in the formation of the Health of Towns Association, and in 1842 took an active part in founding the Metropolitan Association for improving the Dwellings of the Industrial Classes. His reports on the Physical Causes of Sickness and Mortality 1838-9; on Sanitary Improvement, 1838, 1846, 1849, 1850, 1851; on Quarantine, 1845; on Epidemic Cholera, 1850; on Yellow Fever, 1852, and on the results of Sanitary Improvement, 1854, are most valuable and instructive. It has indeed fallen to the lot of few to accomplish such extensive services for the public benefit as were rendered by Dr. Southwood Smith. He was the chief originator of the science of preventive medicine as systematically applied in this country, and he wonderfully succeeded by the clearness and force of his writings in popularising and making familiar the great principles of national health.” “The character of Pestilence which gave it its great power and terror—that it walketh in darkness,—is its character no longer. Its veil is fallen, and with it its strength—A clear and steady light now marks its course from commencement to its end; and that light places in equally broad and strong relief its antagonist and conqueror—CLEANLINESS.” —Thomas Southwood Smith, p. 2.
