Print Culture and the Rebuilding of London after the Fire
Histories of the Great Fire of London regularly mention and reproduce Valentine Knight's scheme for London's reconstruction, published in 1666, and note that he was imprisoned for his pains. His proposal, with new streets laid out on a rough grid and a canal through the heart of the city, has attained a walk-on part in longue durée histories of urban planning. However, Knight has remained a mysterious and little studied figure; the significance o…
Plague on a Page
In July 1625, as the death toll of what was to become one of London's most devastating plague epidemics mounted ominously, Thomas Dekker wrote: 'Foure thousand Red-Crosses have frighted the Inhabitants in a very little time: but greater is their number who have beene frighted, and fled out of the City at the setting up of those Crosses'.1 One manifestation of the red cross, he noted with sardonic relish, provoked a physical reaction exceeding eve…
Follow Your Nose? Smell, Smelling, and Their Histories
A GREAT MANY THINGS have been said of Smells," observed the late-seventeenthcentury Italian physician Bernardino Ramazzini, but "a particular and exact History of 'em is yet wanting." 1 This was still the case nearly three hundred years later when Roy Porter wrote his foreword to the English translation of Alain Corbin's The Foul and the Fragrant, the work that more than any other wafted odor into modern historical consciousness."Today's history,…
Tasting Lichfield, Touching China
Recent years have seen the growth of a new and newly self-conscious cultural historiography of the senses. This article extends and critiques this literature through a case study of the sensory work and worlds of Sir John Floyer, a physician active in Lichfield during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Floyer is best known for his work on pulse-taking, something which he described as contributing to the art of feeling. Less well…

Malthus, Medicine, and Morality
Many social historians of medicine would emphasize that they regard medical practitioners as part of larger systems of charity and care in the culture they study. It is ironic, therefore, that Christopher Hamlin and Kathleen Gallagher-Kamper can observe that "medical history has found little room for Thomas Malthus" (p. 115). This useful collection, deriving from a symposium held at the Wellcome Institute in London two hundred years after the 179…
