By Daniel Defoe

Book Overview

""Due Preparations For The Plague, As Well For Soul As Body"" is a book written by Daniel Defoe and originally published in 1895. The book is a guide to preparing for the bubonic plague, which was a highly contagious and deadly disease that ravaged Europe in the 17th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with the physical preparations that individuals can make to protect themselves from the plague, such as avoiding contact with infected individuals, keeping their homes clean and well-ventilated, and using herbal remedies to boost their immune system. The second part of the book focuses on spiritual preparation, offering advice on how to maintain a strong faith in God in the face of such a devastating disease.Throughout the book, Defoe draws on his own experiences of the plague, which he witnessed firsthand during the outbreak in London in 1665. He also draws on the advice of medical experts and religious leaders of the time to provide a comprehensive guide to preparing for the plague.Despite its historical context, ""Due Preparations For The Plague, As Well For Soul As Body"" remains relevant today as a reminder of the importance of preparedness in the face of a public health crisis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
