Langford Millington appears as one of Vice-Presidents (with the Bishop of Durham Lord Sheffield, Walter Farquhar and William Wilberforce) of a new London institution to address contagious fevers, following a meeting in May 1801 of the Society for Bettering the Condition and Increasing the Comfort of the Poor.
