''An Examination Of The Witnesses, And Their Evidence, Given Before A Royal Commission Upon The Administration And Operation Of The Contagious Acts, 1871'' is a book written by Francis Close and published in 1872. The book is a detailed analysis of the testimony given by various witnesses before a royal commission that was tasked with examining the administration and operation of the Contagious Diseases Acts of 1871. The Contagious Diseases Acts were a series of laws enacted in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century that aimed to control the spread of venereal diseases among soldiers and sailors. The laws allowed for the forced medical examination and treatment of suspected prostitutes in certain designated areas. The laws were controversial and faced opposition from various groups, including women’s rights activists and religious organizations.In this book, Close provides a thorough examination of the evidence presented before the royal commission. He analyzes the testimonies of various witnesses, including medical professionals, government officials, and members of the public. Close also provides his own commentary and insights into the issues raised during the hearings.Overall, ''An Examination Of The Witnesses, And Their Evidence, Given Before A Royal Commission Upon The Administration And Operation Of The Contagious Acts, 1871'' is a valuable historical record of the debates surrounding the Contagious Diseases Acts and their impact on society. It provides a comprehensive overview of the arguments for and against the laws, as well as the perspectives of various stakeholders involved in the issue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
