It was the last of the four epidemics which ravaged the capital in the mid-nineteenth century [1]. Farr, after an early career writing for The Lancet under its founding editor Thomas Wakley, had been appointed ‘compiler of abstra...

On a Correlation Inequality of Farr

Suppose that each vertex of a graph independently chooses a colour uniformly from the set {1, . . . , k}; and let Si be the random set of vertices coloured i.

We give here a simple proof of an extension of this result.

In defense of Farr and Nightingale.

Some members of the audience noted the presence of intranuclear inclusions in the les...
