Title: The Lambeth cholera outbreak of 1848-1849
Description: "The book exposes the suffering of the working population, and convincingly challenges the long-standing belief that London's numerous cholera outbreaks beginning in 1832 were unrelated. The work combines recent scientific research with first-hand accounts to show for the first time that in the nineteenth century cholera was very probably endemic in the River Thames"--Provided by publisher.
