Professor Shrewsbury, a bacteriologist, emphasises that the black rat was solely responsible for the introduction and spread of bubonic plague in the British Isles. He discusses the effects on population, and on social and economic life, the harsh regulations made in the vain attempt to control it, and the collapse of law and order during its great outbursts.
