Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On Malaria and Miasmata and Their Influence in the Production of Typhus and Typhoid Fevers, Cholera, and the Exanthemata: Founded on the Fothergillian Prize Essay for 1859
In commencing this work, I determined to avoid altogether the occult and mysterious to confess ignorance where knowledge shed no light, and at the same time to try if I could place a firm foot on any point which promised to afford support. I have never swerved from this intention, nor regretted the resolve.
