Hygeia
Hygeia provides a fascinating insight into the science and practice of public health in the late 19th century. The author, Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson, a prominent physician of his time, sets out his vision of a 'city of health' where the principles of sanitation, hygiene, and preventive medicine are paramount.

Hygeia, a City of Health
Benjamin Richardson was a British physician, anaestheologist, physiologist, and sanitarian. He was a medical historian and credited with many advances in anesthetics. In 1893 he was knighted. Hygeia; A City of Health was written in 1876. This address was delivered to the Health Department of the Social Science Congress. Richardson asks the congress to study the causes and conditions that increase disease, how they can be lessened and how to inform the uninformed. Richardson believed that poverty meant poor health, which in turn meant poor mental ability. The title Hygeia comes from Greek mythology. Hygeia was the goddess of health cleanliness, and sanitation. She was associated with the prevention of sickness and the continuation of good health.
