The author fc.rutinife^ tht federal claims of the petitioner, 

 smd endeavours to thow that tbofe given to the Louie of 

 .miwis, afi found valid by the committee, are not true 

 according to, hi Uory But, , fays he, a 1 cry jutt and dignllied 

 ground might lave been taken, .equally favourable for remu- 

 neration, as follows ; fc - '1 -hat the petitioner had propofed a, 

 new kind of inoculation, and aotua.Ilv furmihed iome inrtances 

 of the fuceeiV of it, founded upon facts: of winch feme were 

 brought to .light and u.le, .which hereiofoie had been only 

 locally kuoAii to a \cry hw pcilbns- and, that in conic- 

 quince of romi durable fafofrtJO ail inve:'igations, by. the au-. 

 thor and other.-?, Inch a body of evidence had been. obtained, 

 and fuch Emitter, racls had been difcovered, as demon ll rated 

 the advantages of the new -practice. 7 T*-p. 165. 



Although it appears, according to the evidences, that ino- 

 culation was practiced even from human fubjeet to human 

 fubjecl; before Dr. .lenner, yet the author neither compilers 

 Dr.. Jcnner nor the public as under any obligations to them, 

 and that fuch cafes are proper to be recorded in hiitory, but 

 ought not to affect the remuneration. Mow far this reafon» 

 inu will be allowed to be convincing, we are in doubt. 



The author appeals to the public, whether or no he has 

 not proved bv evidence that. exclufive claims of credit were" 

 not due to Dr. Jcnner, but that he himfelf and Dr. Wood- 

 ville, although (they, afked for no pecuniary reward, were 

 entitled to the confederation of having principally ettablimcd 

 the practice. 



In this Examination, nip ft indeed all the valuable facts of 

 the vaccine di Scale come under review : in particular, full 

 evidence is delivered concerning the effects of matter accord- 

 ing to the age of the pock ; the iubject of fpurious cow-pock 

 is fully explained; the propriety of local applications ; the 

 chara£ters of the cow-pock ; the coincidence of the cow-, 

 pock with the 'fmall-pox, and other ..fads are explained 

 very fully. 



Although the author difclaims any deiign of fetting afide 

 (he petitioner's claim to remuneration, he fully prove* vac- 

 cine inoculation to have been carried on to a great length by 

 others: among thefe is the experience of the late Mr. Nafta, 

 \n the Weft of England, whofe manufcripts fhow that he was 

 prepared to write on the cow-pock inoculation as far fupcrior 

 to the fmalj-pox— 1. Not being infectious; 2. Not being 

 attended by eruptions; 3. Being a certain fecurity again i\ 

 the fmall-pox ; 4. Gives cafes of inoculation of cow-pock; 

 5. Cicatrix after cow-pock inoculation is larger than after 

 fmall-pox; 6. Perions who cannot take tne fmall-pox
