(Nathaniel) Quincy, John 1722 Loimologia: Or, an Historical Account of the Plague in London in 1665 With Precautionary Directions Against the Like Contagion Produced by Henry Gardiner and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Loimologia: Or, an Historical Account of the Plague in London in 1665" by Nathan Hodges is a historical account written in the early 18th century. This work details the devastating impact of the plague that struck London during the year 1665, providing a thorough examination of its causes, symptoms, and the social responses to the outbreak. The text also includes precautionary directions to mitigate the risk of contagion, making it a valuable resource for understanding the historical context and public health responses during epidemics. The opening of this historical account sets the stage for the narrative of the plague's arrival in London, which began with just a few deaths in late 1664. It describes the panic that ensued as the contagion spread, fueled by superstitions and the fear of the populace. The author recounts the ineffective responses from health officials and the dire conditions faced by the citizens as they struggled to cope with the ongoing crisis. The initial description highlights the chaos and despair of this period, effectively drawing the reader into the urgency and horror of the situation, while also hinting at the broader implications for understanding how societies respond to epidemics.
