Erstausgabe
First edition. [4], iv, 120 pp. [2]. 16mo. Remaining subtitle: ".With the opinion of several of our most eminent physicians, respecting the origin of the disease, its prevention and cure, to which is added, a correct list of all the deaths by yellow fever during the late season, taken from official documents." James Hardie (ca. 1758-1826); edited The Philadelphia Directory and Register [1794], and wrote of the Yellow fever there earlier: "During the Month of August the funerals amounted to upwards of 300. The disease had then reached the central streets of the city and began to spread on all sides with the greatest rapidity. In September its malignance increased amazingly. Fear pervaded the stoutest heart; flight became general, and terror was depicted on every countenance. In this month 1,400 more were added to the list of mortality. The contagion was still progressive and towards the end of the month, 90 and 100 died daily." In New York he was faced with similar circumstances where he was employed by the board of health. He published "Account of Malignant Fevers in New York" (1799 and 1805)" before publishing this last of his books on the dreaded "yellow jack." Sabin 30316; Shaw & Shoemaker 8941; Cordascco 20-0267. Front board and free endpaper plus blank detached, nick to edge of front board, darkening along spine, rear board rubbed, some dampstain to top of leaves most noticeably on the first few and last few leaves, rear endpaper chipped at bottom with a small center tear, otherwise leaves very crisp and clean, owner's signature to title page; but for the detached board, a good solid copy.
