Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Evils Of Quarantine Laws, And Non-Existence Of Pestilential Contagion"" was written by Charles Maclean in 1824. The book is a critical analysis of the quarantine laws that were prevalent in the 19th century. Maclean argues that these laws were ineffective and caused more harm than good. He also challenges the prevailing belief that pestilential contagion existed and could be spread through contact with infected individuals or objects. Maclean presents evidence from his own experiences as a physician and from historical accounts to support his arguments. The book is important as it provides a unique perspective on the history of public health and the development of quarantine laws. It also sheds light on the debates surrounding the existence of contagion and the role of government in controlling disease outbreaks. Overall, ""Evils Of Quarantine Laws, And Non-Existence Of Pestilential Contagion"" is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of public health and disease control.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
