the author exhibits the amount of Dr. Jenner's experience, 

 the value of which he allows to be great, and that it was the 

 direct occafion of all that has been done fince his publica-" 

 tion. 



ift, He fiatcs that the, whole amount of Dr. Jenner's ex- 

 perience was but fcyen or eight cafes of inoculation of the 

 cow- pock. 



2d, That he gave no defcrlption of the cowvpock ; fo that, 

 after the practice was begun, mulakes on this account were 

 made, which were rectified by the characters of the eruption 

 afeertaincd by the author and Dr, Woodville. 



3d, That they brought out the evidence of feverai hundred 

 cafes in two or three months time, which before were, as 

 above afferted, only feven or eight. 



4th, That Dr. Jenner in giving plates of the cow-pock 

 did not mention what dav after inoculation, which made them 

 of little ufe, and milled by affirming that the maculated 

 eruption was fo like the fmall-pox that the mod experienced 

 inoculator could not diflinguifh them from the hnall-pox. 

 To (now the inexperience of Dr. Jenner, the author gives a 

 plate of the two inoculated difeafes, from which it appears, 

 Dr. Pearfori fays, incredible, on account of the difference, 

 how Dr. Jenner could ever have fpoken of fuch a refem- 

 blance, if his experience had not been confined to a few 

 cafes ? 



5th, That Dr. Jenner's experience muft have been very 

 limited, from his recommendation of applications of a cauftic 

 nature, found to be fubfequently unrequired — from his de- 

 riving the cow pock from the greafe of horfes — from his af- 

 firming that a perfori could, again and asrain, have the vac- 

 cine difeafe; and even after the fmall-pox — from ex peeling 

 fo much inflammation that the fafety to infants was 

 dreaded — from his not knowing that very commonly there 

 is no fenfible constitutional difeafe 5 and yet not defcribing 

 the cow-pock to know when it really takes place, the prac- 

 tice was not underftood, and miftakes were committed which 

 have been fet right by other perfons. Partly from thefe 

 errors uifgufting the public, and from the deficiencies 

 not leaving a foundation to practife upon, Dr. Jenner's claims 

 to ample and exclufive remuneration are rejected bv this au- 

 thor, who yet confiders him as the origin of all the benefits 

 of the new inoculation, and very happily quotes two verfes 

 from Ovid to (how that the power now in our hands of ex- 

 tinguifhing the imall-pox is from Dr. Jenner.
