  • The Russian Influenza in the United Kingdom, 1889–1894

    F B SmithARTICLESocial History of Medicine1995Cited by: 2

    The pandemic of severe influenza known in western Europe as the Russian flu, with its associated infections, caused extensive morbidity and high general mortality. In the United Kingdom, as elsewhere, sufferers and their doctors were hard put to explain the visitatiion and resorted to analogies with physical or bacteriological phenomena, or recalled older beliefs in extra-terrestrial forces. The outcomes were more disturbing than was appreciated …

  • The Contagious Diseases Acts Reconsidered

    F B SmithARTICLESocial History of Medicine1990Cited by: 4

    The historiography of the campaign against the Contagious Diseases Acts has been deeply influenced by the opposition's eight general charges against the acts, and by the Anns' attractive and voluminous presentation of their cause. I have tried to test their allegations against the evidence adduced by supporters of the acts and to reconsider the consequences of some of the leading Antis' behaviour. I find the standing of the allegations to be more…

    Open AccessF B SmithARTICLELabour History1974

    The contents and format of The City prompt comparison with Early England 1830-1865, superintended 40 years ago by G. M. Young. Both are collections of essays by diverse authors, 38 in the new work and 17 in the old, filling about 900 pages. Both are illustrated, but in revealingly different ways. The plates in Early Vic torian England, mostly reproducing topographical watercolours, fashion plates and photographs, often miss the points they are pr…

    When Miss Himmelfarb published “The Politics of Democracy: the English Reform Act of 1867” in this journal in November 1966, she drew one courteous protest, the substance of which, on W. E. Gladstone as “Utilitarian,” she has silently admitted in the essay as republished in Victorian Minds . Nevertheless, some important misinterpretations survive in the new text. It appears with several notable essays on Victorian thinkers, and the collection is …

    Open AccessF B SmithARTICLELabour History1963

    On 24 February 1884 Joseph Symes, a fervent vice-president and lecturer of the National Secular Society, made a triumphal landing at Melbourne. He had come as the personal choice of Charles Bradlaugh to head the eighteen month old Australasian Secular Association. The Association, a product of the intense debate about religion in the prosperous, serious, provincial Melbourne of the 1880s, had guaranteed his expenses. It already could show that it…
