hausted, and the remaining membets of this parent institution 
now witness the painful event of its dissolution. 
Gentlemen,—However painful our feelings, excited by 
being compelled this day to dissolve the parent vaccine insti- 
tution, after subsisting more than 26 years, we have, I trust, 
a source of consolation from our conduct. Posterity will do 
justice to the spirit, liberality, and industry of men, who, from 
their own pecuniary resources and individual friends, have 
performed the great work above represented :—private emolu- 
ment has been no consideration. The members have aspired 
to the reward of the honourable estimation of the public, and 
the enjoyment of the unspeakable pleasure of mitigating the 
sufferings of humanity. 
May the greatest earthly happiness be long enjoyed by you, 
is the last affectionate wish of your faithful friend and col- 
league, GrorcE Pearson. 
The total number of patients vaccinated from 1799 to this
