Excerpt from A History of Asiatic Cholera I feel sure that it must be my own fault if the details given in the following work are not sufficiently attractive to interest the public for the subject I have taken in hand is nothing less than an account of a controllable disease which has within the last fifty years burst forth from British India; and destroyed on each occasion millions of human beings, many of them in the prime of life and all cut 06 by this malady have endured frightful agony during the few hours they have lingered in its grasp. I am well aware that the public will meet with details in this volume which are seldom brought to their notice.
