1914. This volume represents substantially the FitzPatrick Lectures
which the author had the privilege of delivering at the Royal
College of Physicians in 1912. The scattered records of literature
afford a valuable, but neglected, contribution to the study of
epidemic pestilence. They show us pestilence as an affair of the
mind, as medical literature has shown it as an affair of the body.
They teach us too the humiliating lesson that, in spite of the
apparent growth of humanity, in spite of the development and
dissemination of scientific knowledge, human nature has again and
again reverted to the primitive instincts of savagery in face of
the crushing calamity of epidemic pestilence. And in this homing
instinct of the human mind is to be found the clue to much in the
records of literature and art that else is wholly meaningless.
