Description
First published in 1771, this epistolary novel by Thomas Smollett (1721-1771), MD, follows the travels of the household of Matthew Bramble, who suffering from gout, spends time taking the waters at Bath. Writing to his physician Dr. Lewis, Bramble doubts that the drinking the water is sanitary: “It is very far from being clear with me, that the patients in the pump-room don’t swallow the scourings of the bathers” (p. 50).
