| Summary | "London (Ancient and Modern) from the Sanitary and Medical Point of View" by G. V. Poore, M.D., F.R.C.P., is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work examines the sanitary conditions of London over time, detailing the evolution of public health and medical practices from ancient Roman times through the medieval period to the author's contemporary period. It focuses on the health implications of London's geography, architecture, and public policies, providing a thorough exploration of health challenges and improvements in the city. At the start of the book, the author emphasizes the historical significance of London and its sanitation challenges, highlighting how the city developed amid poor sanitary practices that led to disease outbreaks. Poore discusses the impact of London's geography, referencing its proximity to marshy lands and the Thames River, which historically contributed to health issues. He also begins to outline various aspects of public sanitation and the evolution of medical practices, setting the stage for a detailed analysis of how these elements shaped the health of the population throughout different eras in London's history.
