Review

"fascinating...a considerable degree of coherence and breadth of interest..." - Professor Phyllis Deane, Journal of Political Economy. "Dr. Cullen provides detailed information on a topic which until now has been inadequately investigated, and he presents it with extensive documentation and a bibliography of primary sources. His excellent book will be of central interest to many historians of medicine, mostly to those dealing with public health and medicine in the first half of the 19th century".  Medical History.
