 to give ^vJlat assistance he could to those engaged in the administra- 

 tion of the system of Public Vaccination established in England. 

 For many years past, from the nature of his office, Dr. Seaton has 

 had constant intercourse in reference to the subject of Vaccination, 

 with medical men who are interested w it, and especially with that 

 large part of the profession who are engaged as Public Vacci- 

 nators. All the varieties of pocks, both in men and the lower 

 animals, are treated of in detail, and much valuable information 

 given on all points connected with lymph, and minute instructions 

 as to the niceties and cautions which so greatly influence success 

 in Vaccination. The administrative sections of the work will be 

 of interest and value, not only to medical practitioners, but to 

 many others to whom a right understanding of the principles on 

 which a system of Public Vaccination should be based is indis- 

 pensable. "Henceforth the indispensable handbook of Public Vacci-
