520			_a"Cottage Scenes During the Cholera" by William Isaac Coppard is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work presents extracts from a diary kept during the outbreak of cholera in the parish of Plympton St. Mary, reflecting the devastating impact of the disease on a rural community. The narrative focuses on the experiences of the Reverend Coppard as he grapples with the challenges of ministering to his parishioners amidst the epidemic, detailing poignant stories of loss, suffering, and resilience. The opening of the book sets the stage for the cholera outbreak, providing insights into the community's initial hopes of escaping the disease despite its rampant spread in nearby areas. It describes the arrival of the first case, Mellonia Thorn, and the ensuing chaos and fear that grips the parish as more cases emerge. Throughout this portion, the Reverend Coppard illustrates the sorrowful realities faced by families, the desperate measures taken to care for the afflicted, and the emotional toll on both the sick and their caregivers. His reflections serve as both a spiritual guide and a historical record of an era marked by fear and uncertainty, creating an atmosphere of deep empathy within the narrative.
