The paper will discuss Graunt’s ground-breaking epidemiological and statistical work with plague and other diseases in 17th century England. Drawing upon NLM’s extensive holdings of Graunt’s published works, this lecture will examine the development, evolution, distribution, and reception of Graunt’s book through its five editions.
