George Vivian Poore
Read by David Wales
This little book is an expansion of two addresses delivered in January, 1889. One deals with sanitary issues in London. The other deals with medical issues, mainly through the lives and careers of physicians. Though ancients are included, the main emphasis is upon the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries. - Summary by Book Preface and David Wales (4 hr 18 min)

While I like medical history this is dry. I wish it had been more detailed. I think it's good to listen to when trying to sleep.
