XLIV. Some Account of Qt> ward Jen ner, M. D. 



JL H I S gentleman, who has diftinguifhed himfelf fomuch 

 in the annals of medicine by bringing forward the vaeeine 

 inoculation to public notice, and who has been thought 

 worthv of national remuneration on that account, is a Ion of 

 the Rev. Stephen Jenner, formerly vicar of Berkley in (4lou- 

 ceflerfhire, a man highly refpected by all thofe who had the 

 pleafure of his acquaintance. Edward was born about the 

 year 1749, and received his education at Cirencefter in the 

 fame county. Having made a confiderable progrefs in claffi-

 of this period he removed to herkley, where he commenced 

 practice, and met with confiderable encouragement. In the 

 mean time he dill kept up his intimacy with Mr. Hunter 

 by a regular correfpondence ; and the frequent mention which 

 Mr. Hunter has made of him in his works is a ttrikmg in- 

 ftance of the. favourable opinion which ru- entertained of his 

 abilities. An ingenious paper on the natural hiftory ot the 

 cuckow, in a letter addrerfed to Mr. Hunter, was commu- 

 nicated by him to the Royal Society, and was inferted in 

 the Philofophical Tranfactions tor 1788. -Several other 

 papers of his on intricate fubje&s in natural biitcfy were
