Note 495 — PART II. OBSERVATIONS on the Epidemical Diseases in the City of Aleppo.
Reading edition
In the year 1719, the plague made great havock, and advanced so fast in the spring, that the Europeans shut up about the middle of March, and opened about the middle of July.
In 1729 the number of the sick being few, it was the middle of May before any shut up, and they were not above a month confined.
In 1733 the disease raged with violence, though not quite so much as in 1719. The Europeans, however, shut up, and got abroad again at the same seasons as in the former year.
In 1742 they were confined much about the same time as in 1729.
In 1743 the distemper raged with violence, though not quite to that degree as in 1733. The Europeans shut up the 11th of April, and opened about the middle of July.
In 1744 the number of the sick being inconsiderable, and the terror from the distemper much abated by being used to it, few of the Europeans shut up. The progress of the disease was just as above mentioned.
