Quite scarce! Anthony White served in the British Army in Egypt and oversaw the plague district of Lefchimo.
He was appointed by Sir Thomas Maitland, Commissioner of the Ionian Islands.
This work is a detailed account of of the programme that White put in place to suppress the outbreak.
According to ODNB, "Anthony White is said to have been the laziest man in his profession.
He was habitually unpunctual, yet he was so good a surgeon that he soon obtained a large and lucrative practice.
