Synopsis
Understanding how influenza spreads—and how we can stop it.
This nonfiction study gathers notes on the origin and method of spread of epidemic influenza. It surveys historical outbreaks, from the late 18th century to late 19th century, and examines how contagion, incubation, and movement of people and goods shaped the disease. The author aims to clarify contagion and encourage public health measures, including disease notification.
Readers will find careful summaries of outbreaks, patterns of transmission, and practical observations drawn from many reports and cases. The work combines historical detail with medical insight to illuminate how influenza moves through communities, ships, hospitals, and workplaces.
- Traces how influenza moved between cities, towns, and even ships, using concrete case examples.
- Examines contagion in institutions such as hospitals, asylums, prisons, and large workplaces.
- Discusses incubation periods and factors that influence the speed of spread.
- Includes charts and summaries that illustrate patterns of infection and death rates.
Ideal for readers of public health history, medical professionals, and students seeking a clear view of how past influenza outbreaks unfolded.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking and detailed book examines the contagious nature of influenza, referencing specific epidemics to thoroughly analyze the spread of the disease from the late 18th century through 1891. The author cites scholars throughout history and across continents to examine the origins of influenza, with arguments ranging from meteorological to religious and supernatural causes. While some experts have suggested that influenza can arise spontaneously, the author argues that while the exact cause has yet to be found, there is ample evidence to suggest that influenza is caused by a microscopic organism likely spread through contagion.
