עמוד 142 - ... the old woman comes with a nutshell full of the matter of the best sort of small-pox, and asks what vein you please to have opened.

עמוד 112 - I lived : indeed, nothing was to be seen but waggons and carts, with goods, women, servants, children, etc. ; coaches filled with people of the better sort, and horsemen attending them, and all hurrying away ; then empty waggons and carts appeared, and spare horses with servants, who, it was apparent, were returning, or sent from the country to fetch more people : besides innumerable numbers of men on horseback, some alone, others with servants, and, generally speaking, all loaded with baggage and...
עמוד 228 - The people die so, that now it seems they are fain to carry the dead to be buried by day-light, the nights not sufficing to do it in. And my Lord Mayor commands people to be within at nine at night all, as they say, that the sick may have liberty to go abroad for ayre.
עמוד 227 - Browne, with his brother and some friends in the coach, met this coach with the curtains drawn close. The brother being a young man, and believing there might be some lady in it that would not be seen, and the way being narrow, he thrust his head out of his own into her coach, and to look, and there saw somebody look very ill, and in a sick dress, and stunk mightily : which the coachman also cried out upon.
עמוד 141 - A propos of distempers, I am going to tell you a thing that I am sure will make you wish yourself here. The small-pox, so fatal, and so general amongst us, is here entirely harmless by the invention of ingrafting, which is the term they give it.
עמוד 105 - France, and one of the members of the committee, touched with the wretched situation of the sufferers at Bush Hill, voluntarily and unexpectedly offered himself as a manager to superintend that hospital.
