Présentation de l'éditeur
To describe the economic, social and political conditions of a country, the good will and assistance of the authorities responsible for its government must be secured. Fortunately, a lifelong acquaintance with the Principality of Monaco has placed me in a favourable position. So far back as 1882, I was well known to the officials as collaborating with the late Doctor Pickering, in writing and publishing a small book entitled Monaco, the Beauty Spot of the Riviera. Subsequently I was deputed to investigate various epidemics on the Riviera, notably the cholera epidemics of 1884, 1885 and 1893. The energetic denunciations and sdentific reports I then contributed to The Lancet, describing the insanitary conditions prevailing at the socalled health resorts, contributed in fio small measure to bring about the notable improvements now realised along the whole Riviera, and especially at Monaco. More recently, during the Conference of the International Association of the Medical Press, which met at Monaco in 1902, I was appointed spokesman of the eight nationalities represented. In the nam of the leading medical journals published by the principal nations of Europe, I had to address his Serene Highness, Prince Albert I and explained that we were doubly honoured. We were honoured by the regal reception and bounteous hospitality accorded to us by his Highness as Prince of Monaco. But there was a more intimate link. We attached still greater value to the privilege of being the guests of a man of science who had rendered the world service by his original research and discoveries.
