In the same manner no etfett injutious to . . natitin . ought so . ;resuit' from -the knowledge of the above failures. • Parents always had been apprized that there were:occastonal taiinres of VaCcination, b.ut they store always awarc b that none of th e ir chil dren would die of Vaccine inoculation, ,and that when it failed, - sncceedin Small Pox. was 47. most always much tuitignted, and disapned .of its terrors. It was ',natural Air:refire, that they should chooie Vaccination as the les, dangerous dis order, and the same sTeuson still exihts for their per, severance in that choice. If there-be constitoti o 6 s which are twice soiCeptible of Small Pox, a (Thor der which prod4es a violent aelion upon the human frame, aid often destroys lifv, it is natural 1 0 ex . pe6t that Vaccination should not in every instanc4 prevent the Small Pus, and tnHt.t be! molt:Ay which occurs in the one disease should likewise take place in the oilier. It is eier to be kept in view than number of deaths' tram inoculated Small Pox, ex cee:ls the number of failures of Vaccination. It appears, from the present state•ut. our II Ot Urn GOO, that one pereon in three km iced dies trom, the inn. culated Small Pox, and that there is'_ perhaps one. failure in a thouiand after Vaccination." •Ab indi vidoal who, under such circumstances; should pre f:r the inocuknion of 'his 'children for', the :Small Pox, to submitting thentto Vaccindtion, would be guilty of an imprOvidence similar to Thai of a parent who should choose for his son a military service, in hich thr:re one chance in three hundred ,of being preterenc.! to a "st - aiithe, w'bere there was c ! nly oue,chairce.in a thuussii4i.if'being slightly wounded, rte Bond are of opinion, that Vaccination . still rests upon the basis t.in which if was placed, by the 11-porp of the soverit C5.1.1.-..ges of PhYsierat:s and bulge -tit; of th e _Ki%dorti, WiilCl) were laid b4tifre Parliainent; in the rear 1807.

Small Yox. ino culation, is sufficiently, evident from tile annexed cases, and trio Board are, enabled to state, that they have been made acquititited with: insninces 'of indi. viduuls who have twice ul.dergene the Natural Small Pox. Under all these circumstances ; the Board. feel justified in still recommending . and promoting Vac cination,' and in declaring their unabatt7d,confidenc e ita this pruaticr.—Since in some peculiar tramesof constitution the repetition of Ssitall Pox is .neither previinted by Inodulatii nth..Casnal infeaion, the board are of opinion that in such peculiar constitu tions, the occurrence 'of Small Pox after Vaccina tion maybe. reasonably expected; and perhaps in a greater proportion, but with this admission, they do not hesitate to maintain, that the proportionate a4vantages of 'Vaccination to individuals and the public, are, infinitely greater than throe of Sinall Pox inoculation, - They are anxious, • that the existence of certain peculiarities of the human by which home individuals are rendered. by nature, ,more or less susceptible, of eruptive levers, of the recurrence of such disorders, should be publicly known ; for they !eel confident that a dtie contideration of these circumstances, and a just feeling of the •wellare of the catmint:l64y,, will induco tits, public to'prefer,;t tnilci diSease like. Vaccination, which, whew it t, 1 16 of supeiseding the Small Pox, yet 'mitigates violence, and prevents its - fat.d consequ4icel, to one •ts hose effects ,are frequontly violent,' to one which often occasions deformity 'and.'bliiicluess, and what it is Contracted by casual inteaion, has been supposed to destroy one ia six in idi that it attacks. /lop it must.not be forgottco, that in a public view this constitutes the gi,:at objection t't ittticalAtion of the Sorall Pox, toat by its cornagfory.it , inn - rates dead) throughout thn.:nopire,' whilst Vac., cination wisatever he the comparative security. winch it atiords to individuals, occasions, no• subsequent disorder, and has never . , by the most *violent its opposers, beeli charged rCittr producing an 'epidemi- Cal sickness.

MACLEAN, OF SMALL I , LES, TO THE SECRETARY OF THg WERNIittIAN NATURAL iiibToio• SOCIETY. SIR, • Eigg Island. April 64, t 8.9. 'Your - leiter of the ist instant I received, and Would have-written in tinswerthereto sooner. had I not thought it desirable to examine others .relative to the animal of which you tvish me to give a par ticular account. According to my best recolle6lion, I saw it in June 1808, net on the coast of Eigg, but on that of Coil Rowing along that. coast, I obsetved, at about the'distance of half a mile, an obieel to wind= _ ward, which gradually excited astontshmeet. At first view, it appeared like a small rock. Knowing there was no rock in, that situation, I fixed my eyes. on it close. Then I saw it elevated. Considerably above the level of the sea, and atter a slow.move . mem, distlnctly . perceived one of Zits eyes.— Alarmed at the unusual appearance .and magnitude of the animal, steered Bo as to beat no great dis tance from the. shore. Whemnearly in a line be .twixt it and the shore, t h e monster, directing its head (which still continued above water) towards us, plunged violently under water. Ceatain that be was in chase of us, .We plied hard to get ashore. •Just as we leaped our on a rock, taking a station as high as v. e convcniently,conld, eve saw 'it Coming .rapidly under. water towards the stern of our .boat. When within afiw yards of the boil, finding the water shallow, it raised its 'monstrous head above water, -and oy a winding course, 'got, with apparent ditfieulty, clear of the creek where our boat lay,' . .and where the monster seemed in danger of being embayed. It continued to move Off, wait i;s head above water,, and • with the wind, for about•half a toile belote we lost sight of it. Its head was rather broad, of a form somewhat oval.. Its neck somewhat smaller. Its sh, ulders, if I can so term . them, considerably broader, and thence it tapered towards the tail, which last it kept pretty.low in the water, so that a view of it could not be taken on distinctly as I wished. It s hati no tin that I could perceive, and seemed to move pro gressively' by undulation up and do wn. Its length b e ij o :cd to he tynin seventy weighty. feet.
