XIX. On the Quarantine Classification of Substances, with a view to the Prevention of Plague
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 January 2013
Extract
To all those who have paid any attention to the subject of quarantine, it is well known that certain articles are held to be susceptible of conveying the contagion of plague; that certain others, in regard to this property, are considered doubtful; and that others are held to be unsusceptible of retaining and communicating it.
Are these distinctions accurate? Are they founded on well-established facts? On these questions I shall have the honour of submitting some remarks to the Society, with the hope of drawing attention to a subject of much importance, and hitherto, in a scientific point of view, strangely neglected.
