Edward Jenner as Naturalist.

the whole earth is able to unite in saying of him: “ He stood 
between the dead and the living, and the plague was stay¬ 
ed.” (Numbers, lx. 48.) 
What more can one add to portray his beautiful char¬ 
acter? I can but repeat the following tribute, long since 
paid him, and inscribed upon his tomb. It will grow more 
and more expressive with the recurring centuries: 
“Within this tomb hath found a resting place 
The great physician of the human race — 
Immortal Jenner! whose gigantic mind 
Brought life and health to more than half mankind. 
Let rescued Infancy his worth proclaim, 
And lisp out blessings on his honored name; 
And radiant Beauty drop one grateful tear. 
For Beauty’s truest friend lies buried here ”
