filthy neighbourhoods of St. Giles's and Clam-market. Some
even of the medical gentlemen, favouring the' doctrine of
contagion, who were examined before the Committee of
1819, state their disbelief of this being the Levant plague;
on the contrary, they say it was generated at home,
and ascribe it to " the narrowness of the streets, ac.
cumulation of filth, and a want of ventilation, and
probably a diseased constitution of the atmoSphere." There
were, at that period, no common sewers, and the privies were
accumulated under every house, and probably not emptied for
years. Supposing, however,- that there existed no conflicting
testimony amongst the contagionists as to the plague of London
in 1665 having beem imported, and that they all believed so,
such testimony would weigh but as a grain of sand against the
well established fact, " that, notwithstanding our very frequent
intercourse with the Levant, and infected countries, and not-
withstanding the notoriety that the Quarantine Laws have been
frequently eluded, and that parcels of goods are abstracted from
on board ships, and smuggled on shore, before undergoing ex-
purgation, there has occurred no instance, ever since the esta-
blishment of Quarantine, upwards of a hundred years, of the
plague being found on board of any ship, or of any person em-
ployed in the Lazarettos being infected." • ,
That Quarantine Laws do not secure pliets from visitations
of the plague, is proved by its having broken out at Marseilles,
and other places, more than once, subsequent to the establish-
ment of Quarantine; and the great rigour with which its regu-
lations were enforced in 1720, made the epidemic of that year
by far more destructive than any that had ever ravaged Mar-
seilles before the institution of the quarantine system. On the
other hand, in places, particularly Holland, where the quaran-
tine system is in effect abolished, or exists only in name, we
hear of no cases of plague occurring, nor of any epidemics being
imported. If the contagionists believe, on hearsay authority,
that the last great plague of London was imported, according to
some, in a bale of cotton, or according to others in fiax,although
it is strange, the name of the vessel, in which either of thesefr-
miles was imported, has never been ascertained; they are more
than equally bound to believe a fact stated by Dr. Hodges,of which
he was an eye-witness. In his account of the plague of London in
1665, he says, " the people who had retired into the country
were so little afraid of the infection being preserved in linen or
household goods, that, on their return to town, they, without
any scruple, entered the rooms of the sick before the people
were quite dead, and went into the beds where the dead expired
even before they were cold, and before they were cleansed from
the stench of the diseased ; but yet none caught the distemper."
Yet Dr. Hodges was a staunch contagionist ; for amongst other
marvellous stories, he tells us that a lady seemingly in good
health, and who had eaten that day a hearty dinner, received
the infection from his garments, and died in the afternoon.
