Contents include: "The Disease," "Incubation," "Infection," "Early Symptoms," "Nursing and Treatment," "How Smallpox Spreads," "Vaccination," "The History of Smallpox," "The Present Epidemic," "Some Valuable Opinions in Favour of Vaccination," etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

The Scottish Enlightenment Abroad

ISBN-13: 9004362134
DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn The Scottish Enlightenment Abroad, Janet Starkey examines the lives and works of Scots working in the mid eighteenth century with the Levant Company in Aleppo, then within the Ottoman Empire; and those working with the East India Company in India, especially in the fields of natural history, medicine, ethnography and the collection of Arabic and Persian manuscripts. The focus is on brothers from Edinburgh: Alexander Russell MD FRS, Patrick Russell MD FRS, Claud Russell and William Russell FRS. By examining a wide range of modern interpretations, Starkey argues that the Scottish Enlightenment was not just a philosophical discourse but a multi-faceted cultural revolution that owed its vibrancy to ties of kinship, and to strong commercial and intellectual links with Europe and further abroad.
