Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Philosophical Society of Glasgow, 1906, Vol. 19 The history of the Plague or Black Death takes us into times when records are so deficient, and into regions where exact information is so difficult to be had that it is scarcely possible to arrive at precise conclusions as to its primary habitats. It is enough for our present purposes to say that it had, like the great majority of communicable diseases, habitats where it flourished, and from which it made periodical raids upon surrounding countries, spreading with goods and passengers. These were in the East, and the conditions to which it was native are those with which we are so familiar - filth, overcrowding, and general wretchedness and misery in the domestic condition of the people.
