These essays provide valuable insights into the early history of tropical medicine and from the standpoint of several European powers. They examine the kinds of medicine practised, the responses to local diseases and environments and diseases, the nature of the medical constituencies that developed, and the relationship between the old medicine of 'warm climates' and the emerging tropical medicine of the late nineteenth century.

David Arnold is Professor of South Asian history at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. He edited Imperial Medicine and Indigenous Societies (1988), and is the author of Colonizing the Body: State Medicine and Epidemic Disease in Nineteenth-Century India (1993).
