This book chronicles the history of preventable diseases in England from the fourteenth to the late eighteenth century, drawing extensively on data from the London Bills of Mortality.

Through the work of innovators like John Howard and Edward Jenner, the nation made great strides in public health and sanitation, changing the very nature of disease and laying the foundation for future progress in medical science.
