A Treatise on the Plague and Yellow Fever With an Appendix, containing histories of the plague at Athens in the time of the Peloponnesian War; at Constantinople in the time of Justinian; at London in 1665; at Marseilles in 1720

** "A Treatise on the Plague and Yellow Fever" by James Tytler is a detailed exploration of two dangerous diseases, the plague and yellow fever, written during the 1700s. The book dives into the past and present of these illnesses, looking at where they came from, what they do to people, and how people tried to stop or heal them. The book starts by discussing the plague, explaining its long history and describing different outbreaks that happened over time, even going back to the Bible. Tytler emphasizes how terrible plagues were, not only because of the deaths but also because they turned societies upside down, causing problems with people's behavior and communities during those times. Tytler is trying to give doctors and everyone else a better understanding of these diseases by mixing stories from the past with medical knowledge. **
