Omschrijving

""Evils of Quarantine Laws, and Non-Existence of Pestilential Contagion"" is a book written in 1824 by Charles Maclean. The book challenges the widely held belief at the time that diseases such as cholera and yellow fever were caused by contagious agents. Maclean argues that quarantine laws, which were put in place to prevent the spread of these diseases, were ineffective and caused more harm than good. He claims that the true causes of these diseases were environmental factors such as poor sanitation and unhealthy living conditions. Maclean's book was controversial at the time of its publication and sparked a debate among medical professionals and policymakers. Despite its controversial nature, ""Evils of Quarantine Laws, and Non-Existence of Pestilential Contagion"" remains an important historical document in the history of public health and disease prevention.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
