'Morris' study will become a standard account of a revealing incident in English history. Based on careful research into a variety of printed and unprinted sources...it provides a lucid account of the epidemic.' Charles Rosenberg, University of Pennsylvania, USA.

'Cholera 1832 is a welcome addition to the increasing body of knowledge of the impact of cholera on nineteenth century Britain...it is well-structured and presented in a manner that allows the reader to identify quickly the areas relevant to his or her interests.' A. A. MacLaren, University of Strathclyde, UK.
