This book provides a comprehensive over view of eighteenth-century
British medical reform, but as an economic historian, Buer
considered the effect of diseases and medical intervention on
population growth, not on medical ideas. Other optimistic views of
the century either focused, like Buer, on the 'standard of living
debate' or a related debate about the role (if any) of hospitals
and public health measures in reducing mortality during the
industrial revolution, giving only pasing attention to disease
theory.
