First sentence: A PICTURESQUE GRAVEYARD adjacent to the church of All Saints North Street (Fig. 1.1) in the ancient English city of York contains one of the few tangible traces of John Snow's origins: the Snow family plot with a gravestone for four members buried there just before city authorities outlawed intramural interments.
