"This book, by one of the most distinguished English epidemiologists of our day, will be warmly welcomed by American students, who have already had a foretaste of its quality in the three Herter lectures delivered by Greenwood at Johns Hopkins University in 1931 and published in 1932. In the present volume 134 pages is devoted to general principles and methods and the remainder to special illustrations. The statistical method of treating epidemiologic data is emphasized throughout, but most of the book can be read easily and with pleasure by one not versed in the higher mathematics." - JAMA. 1935;105(8):622.  "Greenwood's works - and especially his book, Epidemics and Crowd-Diseases, written more than 50 years ago - are masterpieces of clear thought about the spread of infectious diseases." - Editor's Notes, "Reviews of Infectious Diseases," Vol. 10, No. 2, March-April 1988.
