    The History of diseases which now solicits the reader’s attention is of an humbler kind, and the beneiit which may at Manchester in 1796,; and, since that time, at London. Liverpool, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Dublin, Cork, and many other towns. These Institutions will supply such numerous facts as must at length effe&ually correft the inveterate and pernicious errors which had universally prevailed. They prove beyond all controversy, that the Regulations deduced from these Principles can exter- minate the Small-Pox and the Typhous Fever from every place where they are punftually executed. There cannot be a doubt that exaaiy the same Regulations would immediately exterminate the Pestilential Fever of the West-Indies, America, Spain, &c. They might have entirely prevented the late fatal calamity at Gi- braltar. They may preserve us from the imminent danger, to which all Europe is at present exposed, of receiving this pestilential poison from the various re- gions into which it is widely dispersed. This highly important subjeft is falsely thought to be exclusively medical: it maybe fully comprehended by every per- son of a clear and philosophical understanding, who will attentively consider it.
