THIS part of my Directions is not so =general= as the rest, because some Places are too great to admit of it: which occasioned my proposing it with a Restriction[13]. But as this is a great Inconvenience to the rest of the =Country=, so it is far from being any Advantage to the =Place= thus left unguarded. For when all, who leave an =infected= Place, carry with them =Certificates= of their having submitted to such =Quarantaine=, as may remove all Cause of Suspicion, =Travelling= will be much more safe and commodious, than otherwise it can be. For want of this, when the =Plague= was last at =London=, it was difficult to withdraw from it, while the =Country= was every where afraid of =Strangers=, and the =Inns= on the =Roads= were unsafe to lodge in for those, who travelled from the =City=; when it could not be known, but =Infection= might be received in them by others come from the same Place. AND from hence it happened that the =Plague=, when last in =England=, though much more moderate, and though it continued not above one Year in the City of =London=, did yet spread it self over a great Part of =England=, getting into =Kent=, even as far as =Dover=; into =Sussex=, =Hampshire=, =Dorsetshire=, =Essex=, =Suffolk=, =Norfolk=, =Cambridgeshire=, =Northamptonshire=, =Warwickshire=, =Derbyshire=, and, to mention no more, as far as =Newcastle=[14]. THUS, as I have examined through the Course of the following =Treatise=, with all possible Care, into the Agreement of my =Precepts= with the Nature of the =Plague=; so I have now considered how far they can conveniently be put in Practice. BUT it is time to have done with a Subject by no means agreeable. I shall therefore conclude all I have to say upon this Matter, with a =Paper= well deserving Perusal, which is come to my Hands, since the following Sheets were finished; and therefore too late to be made use of in its proper Place: for which Reason, I shall give it here entire. This =Paper= contains the Methods taken by his late =Majesty=, when the =Plague= in the Year 1712. had entered his =Dominions= in =Germany=. It was delivered to me from Mr. =Backmeister=, the Secretary at =Hanover= to his =Majesty= for the =German= Affairs, who was the Person, that issued out the =Orders= that were given. This =Relation= I requested from the Secretary, being desirous to know how far the =Measures= then taken, agreed with my =Directions=: because I had been informed, that they were very successful. And I have the Satisfaction to find them very conformable to my =Precepts=; and that they had so much the desired Effect, as to stop the =Plague= from spreading beyond the small Number of =Towns= and =Villages= recited at the beginning of the =Paper=. =HANOVER=, Feb. 10. N. S. 1722. IN 1712 and 1713, the Plague raged in these Parts, at the following Places. =TOWNS.= =Lunenbourg=, =Zell=, =Haarbourg=, twice. =VILLAGES.=
