Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Epidemics of the Middle Ages
Dr. Hecker's account of the Black Death, having, in its English translation, met with a favourable reception, I am led to believe that the Dancing Mania, a similar production by the same able writer, will also prove acceptable. Should this be the case, it is my intention to complete the series by translating the history of the Sweating Sickness, theonly remaining epidemic considered by our author to be long to the Middle Ages.
