WATSON, Malcolm.

The prevention of malaria in the Federated Malay States. A record of twenty years' progress . . . With contributions by P. S. Hunter and A. R. Wellington. And a preface by Sir Ronald Ross . . . Second edition – revised and enlarged.

London, John Murray, 1921. 8vo (220 x 150 mm), pp. xxvii, [iii], 381, [5], with 115 illustrations and plans; original blue cloth; spine sunned; publisher’s presentation copy with ‘With Mr Murray’s compliments’ blindstamped to title and a loosely inserted presentation slip. First published in 1911. ‘Within a few months of its publication by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in 1911, the first edition of this book was sold out. A reprint was suggested, but as our knowledge at that time was increasing rapidly, I felt the book should be re-written . . . . Visits to Sumatra, Panama, and British Guiana, the writing of Rural sanitation in the Tropics, and the war, have all served to delay the issue of a new edition; but another, and perhaps the chief cause, was a disinclination to write during the progress of many anti-malaria schemes, and before they had reached fruition – in other words, a dislike to write of uncompleted work’ (p. xiii).
