Our students like Daniel Defoe's _A Journal of the Plague Year_ on London in the 1660s. The American literature is enriched by such works as John H. Powell's _Bring Out Your Dead! - The Great Plague of Yellow Fever in Philadelphia in 1793_ and John Duffey's _Epidemics in Colonial America_.

Harold Wilson suggested Daniel Defoe's _A Journal of the Plague Year_. May I suggest Defoe's less well known but equally interesting _Due Preparations for the Plague_, which is somewhat richer in data for the social historian. I have found both books to be quite popular with third-year English students. Brian Whittaker Atkinson College, York University Downsview, Ontario, CANADA
