| Summary | "The Plague at Marseilles Consider'd" by Richard Bradley is a scientific publication written in the early 18th century. The book explores the nature of the plague outbreak in Marseilles and discusses the disease's causes, symptoms, and the measures necessary to prevent its spread. Through meticulous observations and accounts, the author seeks to educate the public about the dangers posed by the plague and suggests practical precautions for protection against infectious diseases. In this detailed account, Bradley provides an alarming overview of the devastation wrought by the plague in Marseilles, including vivid descriptions of the city’s dire state, where thousands died and a panic-stricken populace abandoned their loved ones. The book includes accounts from physicians who experienced the outbreak firsthand, detailing the symptoms of those afflicted and the medical response. It highlights the necessity of strict quarantine protocols and discusses theories regarding contagion, particularly the role of air quality and environmental factors.
