One Italian work may, perhaps, also be given:-
(12) Fillipo Ingrassia, Informatione del pestifero morbo . . . Palermo e Sicilia,
1575-76.
The next batch of works on plague dealt with the Great Plague of London.
Chief of these must be placed:-
(13) Graunt, Observations on the Bills of Mortality, London, 1665;
(14) M. E. Green, A Calendar of State Papers, 1665-66;
(15) George Thomson, Loimotomia, or The Pest Anatomize l, London, 1666;
(16) Nath. Hodges, Loimologia sive Pestis nuperae apu l populum Londiniensem
Narratio, London, 1672 (trans. by Quincy), London, 1720;
(17) W. Boghurst (Apothecary), Loimograchia, or An Experimental Relation of the
last Plague in the City of London.
[This is merely a MS., but contains important details. It is in the British
Museum.]
(18) A collection of scarce pieces on the Plague in 1665, London, 1721.
Other pieces on this great historical outbreak call for less serious considera-
tion:-
(19) Defoe, The Journal of a Citizen,-
"which," says an anonymous writer, "should be read and admired as
fiction, but accepted with caution as history"; and
(20) T. Vincent, (Minister of the Gospel), God's Terrible Voice in the City, London,
1667,-
a gentleman whose eloquence appears to have been equal to the occasion,
whether he discussed theology or plague.
18th Century.
The plague literature of the 18th Century is characterized by a large propor-
tion of French and German works. The French works, many of which were rather
belated, were undoubtedly inspired by the terrible epidemics at Marseilles and
Toulon in 1720, and in Russia and Poland in 1771. Taking the works which
dealt with the 1720-22 epidemics first, the following may be mentioned:-
(21) Relation Historique de la Peste en Marseille, Cologne, 1721; Paris, 7727, etc.;
(22) Ch'coyneau, Verny, etc., Observations et Reflexions . . . de la Peste, Marseilles,
1721;
(23) D'Antrechause, Relation de la Peste de Toulon en 1721, Paris, 1756;
(24) Lorinser, La Peste des Orients-
while the following deal with the epidemics of 1771:-
(25) Samoilowitz,. Mémoire sur la Peste en Russie, 7777, Paris, 1783;
(26) Mertens, De la Peste en 7777, Paris, 1784.
The German plague literature of this (the 18th) century comprised amongst
other works:-
(27) Adam Chenot, Abhandlung von der Pest, Dresden, 1776;
(28) Schraud, Pest in Smyrnien, 7795, Pesth, 1801.
