Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Epidemiological Society of London, Vol. 17: Session 1897-98
The proposals and carryn into effect of International regulations for the control of vessels, and so forth, are all embraced within the reign of Her Majesty the Queen, and is one more instance of the progress and development of scientific truths which have taken place during the period of Her eventful reign.
The first suggestion of an International Conference was made by the French Government in 1838, but so diverse were the views held on the subject of quarantine and its enforcement at stations and ports on the Mediterranean, that the proposals fell through owing to various difficulties which arose.
Again, in 1843, the British Government suggested a further conference, but this again was opposed by Austria as premature, as there was no foundation on which to found any regulations which would be acceptable to the Powers.
