Traces the development of the sanitary and health problems of New York City from earliest Dutch times to the culmination of a nineteenth-century reform movement that produced the Metropolitan Health Act of 1866, the forerunner of the present New York City Department of Health. Professor Duffy shows the citys transition from a clean and healthy colonial settlement to an epidemic-ridden community in the eighteenth century, as the city outgrew its health and sanitation facilities. He describes the slow growth of a demand for adequate health laws in the mid-nineteenth century, leading to the establishment of the first permanent health agency in 1866.;Preface / by George James, M.D. -- Introduction -- From frontier post to settled community -- A sweet and wholesome climate -- The transition years, 1664-1720 -- The comfortable town of New York, 1720- 1776 -- Revolution and reconstruction -- From town to city, 1792-1825 -- Yellow fever, the number one public health problem -- The beginnings of organized public health -- The first Board of Health -- Street sanitation and nuisances : the losing battle -- Control of the physical environment -- Medicine and hospitals -- Health and social welfare -- The city overwhelmed -- The administration of public health -- The Office of City Inspector -- The Health Office : chief quarantine agency -- The lucrative business of not cleaning the streets -- Noisome substances and public nuisances -- The advent of sanitary engineering : Croton water and the sewerage system -- Sewerage and drainage -- Food and market regulations -- Epidemic and endemic diseases -- Medicine and the medical profession -- The rise of the hospital -- Immigrants, tenements, and general mortality -- The fight for reform -- Appendices -- Mortality statistics of New York City 1804-1865 -- Infant mortality, New York City, 1804-1865 -- Negro mortality, New York City, 1821-1865 -- Mortality of the foreign-born population, New York City, 1835-1865 -- Mortality of the Irish and German foreign-born population, New York City, 1835-1865 -- Deaths from specified causes, average annual, New York City, 1804-1865 -- Deaths from consumption of Negro and foreign-born population, New York City, 1821-1865 -- Consumption death rate per 1,000 for native white, Negro, and foreign-born population, New York City, 1821-1865 -- Deaths from Asiatic cholera by nativity status, New York City, 1832-1854.

There are many people to thank in regards to this book, and I wish Joy were here to thank them all. I will do my best but I apologize in advance to any of her many friends and colleagues whom I may forget. It is a simply an oversight. Joy knows you helped her and so do you.

First and foremost, the true light of Joys life, our daughter, Doria, who wanted to help and found a practical way to do so by creating an amazing and successful Kickstarter campaign that helped see this book through to completion.

And to the people who helped Doria with the KickstarterDrew Reilly, Alison Matheny, Anna Dunn, Teddie Davies, Nino Cirabisi, Colu Henryher thanks and mine.

A heartfelt thanks to the artists who created works that honored Joy and were sold to help finish this book: Jane Kent, David Storey, James Sienna, Susan Crile, Kira Nam Greene, Brenda Goodman, Ben Edmiston.

Special thanks to Joys colleagues and friends, Renee Marton, Cathy Kaufman, Jonathan Deutsch, Ellen J. Fried, and Meryl Roshofsky, who, when asked to read segments of Joys manuscript and make suggestions, all said they would be honored to do so and did a wonderful job. And again, Cathy Kaufman along with Ari Ariel at Culinary Historians of New York, where Joy once served as editor and helped create their beautiful newsletter journal, NY Food Story.

I know Joy would particularly want to thank Jay Barkdale, formerly of the New York Public Library, for his tremendous support of her research for this book, as well as everyone at the New-York Historical Society, where Joy researched so much of this book, and for whom she had the utmost respect.

To Joys NYU colleagues and friends, Jennifer Berg, Krishnendu Ray, Laura Shapiro, Amy Bentley, and many others, Joy always said she was honored to be among you.

Joys first mentor in the Food History world, Betty Fussell, and Les Dames dEscoffier, who I believe awarded Joy her first food writing grant.

Thank you to Marion Nestle for her incredible generosity and beautiful words.

An enormous debt is owed to the brilliant and unflappable Jack Beatty, who did what almost no one else could doedit and reorder Joys epic manuscript, and did so with intelligence, calm, sensitivity, and grace. If anyone out there is in need of a great editor, Jack is your man.

With an additional debt of thanks to Emily Fairey for her research and hard work, and to Jessica Gordon, for excellent photo research.

Special thanks to Dan Conaway, Joys agent, and a good friend, who not only stuck by this book, but stuck by me throughout.

And to Alane Mason, the editor who believed in this book from the beginning and made sure it was publishedand to her very able assistant, Marie Pantojan.

I dont think I could have completed this project without my sister-in-law Kathy Rolland, who helped in every conceivable way by reading, editing, and contributing, who offered her shoulder to lean on, and is simply one of the best people in the world. Joy was smart to choose her as her sister.

With thanks to the following people, companies, and magazines who contributed generously to Dorias Kickstarter campaign for this book, and some who simply donated generously on their own: Jack & Jane Rivkin, Jane OKeefe, Floyd Lattin & Ward Mintz, Lauren OKeefe, Lewis & Ali Sanders, Susan Crile, Catherine Murphy & Harry Roseman, Caren & David Cross, Michael Lodish, Diane Keaton, Margo Alexander, Colu Henry, Bruce & Micheline Etkin, Michelle Leblond, Richard & Rhona Ross, Elaina Richardson, Patricia Towers, Noreen Tomassi, Janet Froelich & Richard Stepler, Karyn & Bruce Greenwald, Kathy Epstein, Pamela Sanders, Carol Browne, Sydie Lansing, Roberta Denning, Louise & Gerry Puschel, Joan Katsky, Caroline Hyman, Meryl Rosofsky, Max Nilsson, Jim Fusilli, Max Berlinger, Gail Gregg, Susan Yager, Janice Deaner, Thomas A.
