Plague and Pestilence in Literature and Art (Classic Reprint) by Raymond Crawfurd Pdf

Excerpt from Plague and Pestilence in Literature and Art This volume represents substantially the F itzpatrick Lectures which I had the privilege of delivering at the Royal College of Physicians in 1912. Originally I intended to do no more than gather together into a succinct record the various memorials and reminders of Pestilence that I had met with in my wanderings at home and abroad and in my casual incursions into general literature. Insensibly the desire to understand supplanted the desire merely to record, and the desire to explain superseded the endeavour to understand. I have turned my attention, as far as practicable, only to the literary and artistic associations of Pestilence, but these have inevitably overlapped the confines of history and of medical science. The latter territory has been invaded only so far as was necessary to ensure a correct orientation to the inquiry. I have thought it wise to let the curtain fall at the end of the eighteenth century, leaving it to my readers to decide what vestiges of the mentality of distant centuries have survived into this twentieth. A little reflection on this will afford a most salutary lesson to all of us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Manual of Plague (Classic Reprint) by William Ernest Jennings Pdf

Excerpt from A Manual of Plague In commending this work to the public, the medical profession, and particularly to those to whom it has been inscribed, I submit that my long acquaintance with the disease and with its management in India justifies my belief that the object of the author - viz., the production of a concise Manual of Plague - has been adequately attained. Careful revision of the principal chapters convinces me that nothing which is worth recording has been omitted, and I consider the work to be an accurate exposition of our present knowledge of plague, the more acceptable and useful by reason of its freedom from controversial matter.

The City of Plague by John R. Barlow Pdf

Excerpt from The City of Plague: And Other Poems My Boyhood's Pride! Companion of youthful glee! While memory dwells mid scenes of yore, My heart goes back to thee; And youthful hours, when innocence Ruled every thought and word, Come to my heart and make it beat, As when in youth it stirred In throbbing answer to the tones Of Friendship, Love and Truth; Oh, happy hours! oh, joyous scenes! Oh, grand, immortal youth! Y ar after year may come and go, As wave on wave doth swell. But memory like an undertow, Brings back youths scenes with brighter glow, Those scenes we love so well.

Old Saint Paul's by William Harrison Ainsworth Pdf

Excerpt from Old Saint Paul's: A Tale of the Plague and the Fire One night, at the latter end of April, 1665, the family of a citizen of London, carrying on an extensive business as a grocer in Wood Street, Cheapside, were assembled, according to custom, at prayer. The grocer's name was Stephen Bloundel. His family consisted of his wife, three sons, and two daughters. He had, moreover, an apprentice; an elderly female serving as cook; her son, a young man about five-and-twenty, filling the place of porter to the shop and general assistant; and a kitchen-maid. The whole household attended; for the worthy grocer, being a strict observer of his religious duties, as well as a rigid disciplinarian in other respects, suffered no one to be absent, on any plea whatever, except indisposition, from morning and evening devotions; and these were always performed at stated times. In fact, the establishment was conducted with the regularity of clock-work, it being the aim of its master not to pass a single hour of the day unprofitably. The ordinary prayers gone through, Stephen Bloundel offered up a long and fervent supplication to the most High for protection against the devouring pestilence with which the city was then scourged. He acknowledged that this terrible visitation had been justly brought upon it by the wickedness of its inhabitants; that they deserved their doom, dreadful though it was; that, like the dwellers in Jerusalem before it was given up to ruin and desolation, they "had mocked the messengers of God and despised his word;" that, in the language of the prophet, "they had refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears that they should not hear; yea, had made their heart like an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law and the words which the Lord of Hosts had sent in his spirit by the former prophets."
