An historical account of the several plagues that have appeared in the world since the year 1346 : with an enquiry into the present prevailing opinion that the plague is a contagious distemper, capable of being transported in merchandize, from one country to another : in which the absurdity of such notions is exposed and the arguments that have been made use of to support them refuted : to which are added a particular account of the yellow fever, shewing its periodical appearance to be similar to the plague : also, observations on Dr. Mackenzie's letters, read before the Royal Society on this subject : and, an abstract of Capt. Isaac Clemens' voyage in the sloop Fawey, from their arrival in the mould of Algiers to the sinking of her, on a supposition that the plague was on board her : taken from his log-book.
