Report On The Present Quarantine Laws. This 1846 volume records the report of a Special Committee of the New York State Assembly appointed to examine the quarantine laws at the Port of New York. The text documents historical outbreaks of yellow fever in New York and other port cities, traces quarantine practices from the early 19th century, and presents the committee's findings and proposed revisions to the quarantine statutes. It includes the formal act 'An Act Concerning Quarantine, and Regulations in the nature of Quarantine, at the Port of New-York' and accompanying documents such as Document No. 1 describing quarantine grounds and hospital buildings; Circular No. 1 and Interrogatories to medical specialists; and sworn examinations by doctors and merchants outlining the practical effects of quarantine on commerce and public health. The report also discusses the Croton water, burial grounds, and urban nuisances that influence disease dynamics, and closes with summarized conclusions and proposed legislative changes.
