Having trained in Edinburgh as a surgeon and served aboard Royal
Navy vessels, Sir James Clark (1788 1870) developed a particular
interest in the spread of the tuberculosis pandemic in Europe. A
licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians from 1826, and
elected to the Royal Society in 1832, he became a trusted physician
and friend to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. This early work of
1820 was based on his first-hand knowledge of the treatment of
tuberculosis in southern Europe as well as the effects of climate
on the disease. Among his tubercular patients in Italy around this
time was the poet John Keats (who would succumb in 1821). Also
reissued in this series are Clark's Treatise on Pulmonary
Consumption (1835), his Memoir of John Conolly (1869), and The
Influence of Climate in the Prevention and Cure of Chronic Diseases
(1829), a development of aspects of the present work.
