Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Black Death, And, the Dancing Mania
The office was created for a man who had a special genius for this form of study. It was de lightful to himself, and he made it delightful to others. He is regarded as the founder Of historical pathology. He studied disease in relation to the history of man, made his study yield to men out side his own profession an important chapter in the history of civilisation, and even took into account physical phenomena upon the surface of the globe as often affecting the movement and character of epidemics.
The account of The Black Death here trans lated by Dr. Babington was Hecker's first important, work of this kind. It was published in 1832.
