It was brought about due to the insanitary conditions of Liverpool at that time. The population, which had been only about 5,000 in 1700 had by 1749 quadrupled to 20,000. Many were housed in ill-drained streets, the unsanitary conditions leading to widespread illness. The Rules and Orders was a comprehensive handbook outlining the governance of the hospital, with detailed rules about admission and discharge of patients, and the roles of medical staff, patients, and visitors. Patients were forbidden to swear, gamble or smoke and were expected to assist with tasks if they were able. This 1803 printing is rare with only a BL copy listed by Library Hub.The second item is in effect a detailed diary of the work of the Manchester Board of Health between its foundation in January 1796 and August 1804. It had been set up in 1796 by local medical men and Manchester's philanthropists "to consider of proper means to secure the general health of the town and neighbourhood of Manchester from the contagion of an infectious fever, which has long prevailed amongst the manufacturing poor". Library Hub locates 4 copies but none in British Library.

A committed Royalist, he suffered various terms of imprisonment (1643-1649) as a consequence of his publication of royalist pamphlets. "In Englands Complaint (1648), Gatford urged those who had been seduced by 'the Devil and Devilish men' to repent of rebellion. This pamphlet argued that the Jesuits were behind the attacks on the Church of England and warned that the execution of the king would lead to the shedding of the blood of more protestants than had 'been shed since the Reformation'." (ODNB).
