Note 182 — OF QUARANTINE, LAZARETTOS, AND OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS OF PLAGUE POLICE.

A Treatise on the Plague, designed to prove it Contagious, from facts collected during the Author’s residence in Malta, when visited by that malady in 1818, with Observations on its prevention, character, and treatment,—By Sir Arthur Brooke Faulkner, M.D. London, 1820. This work may be considered as one of the richest classical productions on the subject of the Plague; and we strongly recommend it to the attention of the medical reader on account of the important facts, powerful arguments, and correct judgment, which distinguish it.

See also Narrative of Facts relative to the repeated appearance, propagation, and extinction of Plague among the British Troops in Egypt, in the years 1801, 1802, & 1803,—By John Webb, Director General of the Ordnance Medical Department; published in the Medical Transactions of the College of Physicians, vol. vi.
