 Total numberf vaccinated 1316 

 Of these, 944 have received the reward, the sum of 

 124/. 55. having been paid by the court to this day, Oct. 26, 

 1812. 361 of these belonged to the country ; for it was the 

 liberal policy of the court to make no distinction between 

 aliens and those belonging to Norwich : it was, indeed, ob- 

 viously requisite to vaccinate all, for the security of all. 



Means having been taken to prevent communication 

 with the child who brought the disease from the country, 

 no one caught it from this source ; and if the same measures 

 be persevered in, we may confidently calculate upon a per- 

 manent security from it. Compared with the population 

 of the place, J believe in no instance, in this country at 

 least, have so many individuals been vaccinated in so short 

 a period; and the immediate consequent exclusion of 

 sniall-pox when more than 1300 individuals were pre- 

 viously liable to it, is at once an irrefragrable proof of the 

 protecting power of vaccination, and ot the magnitude of 

 the blessing bestoved by Providence in its discovery. 



P. S. Not a single case of small-pox has occurred to this 

 time — Norwich, Dec. 27,1812. E.R.
