I , ri-IE ECLECTIC REVIEW, FOR. JULY.
1- The Condudtors of the ECLECTIC REVIEW, when they
I circulated their Profpedtm, conceived that all new publications,.
properly Included In their plan, might be ratably reviewed in a
Monthly Number office meets; and having eltablifhed their work.
not for mercenary ends, but for the protection of principles which
they held to be facred. they MR red it at a price much lower, com-
paratively, than that of any othrr CiltiCal JournaL Experience,
however, has convinced them that the limits thus affigned to their
Numbers are too narrow to allow Gem to keep pate even with
the Idea produdiems of the pref. ; and they have. confsquently,
had frequent occafions to regret, that crtlquet of Interefting works
have been both unduly delayed and inconveniently contracted.
As a 4th part of their crock will commerce with the Number
f.,r July, and as they have to announce a change In the department
of Puldifher, they have determined to embrace the purest oppor.
tunity of obviating the inconvenience fo fenhbly felt; in compd.
ance,therefore, with the fuel/talons of .feveral friends, the future
Numbers will contain one additional Meet. This augmentation.
they truft, will enable them duly ni notice the publications of the
day, and will allow them to give a more minute analyfis of Im-
portant works, and to avail themfelyea more extentively of to.
t.realng catradts.
It will be anticipated that an increafe in the the of the work
mutt occafion an advance in the price-whieh, indeed, the Con-
dudors are confident they might not unrcafonably have pro-
poled, on other ground,. In adding Sixpence, therefore, to the
...refent coil of the Numbers, they have the fatisfadion of knowing
that they do not depart front tie& original princiiike, and that the
Eclrdlic Review will 11 HI maintain its prolaßan of being the

•t/DITO/LI SILL.

On the Order of the Day being read for the fecond
reading of this Bill,
Mr. TYRWHIT JONES begged leave toe& the
Mar CCI'Or of the Exchequer, whether, when he bad
Bated fo many millions to be unaccounted for, .he'
wilted to have it underliood, that any great part of
it could be recovered t

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
Paid, that he had never (fated any thing from which
a fair inference could be drawn, that all the money
was due to the public, which he had mentioned as
being unaccounted for.
Mr. ROSE laid, he had no with to impede the
progrefs of the Bill, whatever might be his opinion
of the principle of it. It was of no confequenee,
whether the Bill thould pats ten days fnoner or later.
As to the seeo millions unaudited, a very great mil:
conception had generally prevailed. It was fuppofed
by many, that this turn was abfolutely unaccounted
for, whereas, in fait, nine tenths of the public ac
counts were fufficiently examined and audited before
ever they were brought to the Auditor's Office. He
then read the report of the Commiffioners' Accounts,
which fiated that in their opinion, " the carrying
the accounts of the Army, the Navy, the Ordnance,
the Bank, and the South Sea Company, to the Office
of the Auditors, was ufelefs, and ought to be dif-
continued." The examination before the Auditors
was rather a matter of form, Ind the real examination
of the public accounts rook place elfewhere.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL did not believe
that the public were under any mittake or waken-.
ception ohatever upon the fubjeft, although great
pains appeared to have been taken to reprefeut to the
public, that his Noble Friend had Meted what he cer-
tainly never did (late. He believed both the public
and the Honfe of Commons were fully imprelfed
with the 'weeny of adopting Come mode by which
the public accounts could be fpeedily audited.-r
When every paymatter knew that in the common
wade of banes his accounts would not be audited
for twenty, thirty, or even forty years, filch a temp-
tation was held out to him as no individual ought to
be' to: If there were no other rearms, he
thought that would be fufficient to prove the need.
fit y of the meafure. '
Mr. HUSKISSON confidered the examination be-
fore the auditors as merely a =tier of form. They
were in the lila:tam of bankefs, and bad only to fee
that the receipts correfponded with the payments
which had been made. Betides, there Was not it
finale fubordinate account which had been delayed
in rte palling from the delay in the miring the
mailer's account, in much talked of. : • *: f•
Mr. Secretary WINDHAM thought, that if AU:
examination was merely fro forma, there was no WV.
cation for an arrear of thirty or forty years to have
accumulated. 'Gas the Hon. Gentleman feemed tts
reprefent it all the public accounts had been exa-
mined in detail, the mere formal bufinefs of parting
the accounts would not then be a thing of fo mach
difficulty.
After Come farther converfation, the Bill was read
a fecund time, and ordered to be cornmittcd.on
Tuefday. . •

Mr. SUI.LIVAN gave notice, that if his Noble
Friend (Lord Temple-), fhould be longer ptevenred

usrsseD TAXIS ALLOW•PICS SILL.
On the queß ion for the further confederation of the
Report of this Bill,
Mn. HUSKISSON wilbed the Noble Lord would
Rate more explicitly than he had hitherto done, the
principle of it. If the gypund were merely the pref.-
ture of the Property. Tax, which was of a temporary
natur.:, he did not think the proper remedy was to
reduce the permanent taxes. He confidered that this
wu ask Narnaciamcms on the Confohdated Fut/J,
, t I

which fattened the fecurity of the public creditors
and betides, as the furplus of the Confolidated Pund
was a criterion for judging of the general profperity
pf the country, he thought it dangerous, in that point
of view, to diminilh the produce of the permanent
taxes, by way of remedying a temporary preffure.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
replied, that when the Property Tax was under con-
fideration, he had refilled the fuggeftions which had
been made of granting exemptions in certain cafes,
becaufe he thought the principle of exemption was
bad, and that the tax ought to be equally levied on
property of every defcription. and from whatever
fource smiling. It was not merely on account cf the
preffure of the Property Tax, but it was on account
of the general preffure of taxation. that he conceived
the propofed allowances neceffary. If the reftoration
of peace fhould remove the temporary prefure, he
amid be glad to recur to the grand and definable
Ohm of uniformity of taxation. He thought that
neither the Houle nor the public could be alarmed at
the decreafe it would eccafion in the permanent
taxes, when they knew the reafon of it. If in this
refp:a there was a deficiency, in fome other points
the permanent taxes would exceed the etiolates.
Mr. HUSKISSON Rill objected to the diverting
of any part of the permanent taxes, for the purpole
of relief from the preffure of the temporary taxes.—
He concluded by moving a claufe refpeding the
manner of keeping the accounts, which was agreed
to.—The Bill was ordered to be read a third time
to-morrow.

VACCIV INOCULAWIOII.
' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
role, purfuant to notice, to bring forward a motion
which was entirely unconneded with the political
fyftems of parties, but which related to the health.
happinefs, and welfare of the United Kingdom, sad
to the human race in general. He %mild call their
attention to the difcovery of inoculating from the
Cow Pox, or, as it was ufaally called, the Vaccine
Inoculation, which had checked in a great degree'
the progreis of that dreadful malady which hid
fpreld filch ravage and de(olatioo over the worli.r.
He should not gu ince any length of detail upon the
hiflory of this dikovery ; he Ibould only Rate thai
the difcovery itrdf, as well as the effeas which have
fince been derived from it, were the relish: of the
conftaat labour of an eminent phyfician, Dr. Zenner,
who had devoted above thirty years of his life to this,
tingle objea. The difcovery was made in t 777, but
it was not until the year iyBB that Dr. inner had
recommended the extending of the Cow Po; by
means of inoculation ; in 1798, he was enabled from
a long comic of fuccefernt sxperimeats, to recom-
mend-the difcovery to the people of this country, and
to Europe, in fuch a manner as to excite univerfal at-
tention : in 1799, it was very generally introduced in
America, not only among the more civilized inbabi-
teats, but even among the Indians. In 11301 it was
proetired all over the Continent of Europe with the
happieß effeft. He thould Rate one evidence of its
effeas in the dominions of Auftria' which would
alone prove its efficacy. In Vienna, before the year
18oa, when the Vaccine Inoculation eras introduced.
the average number of deaths by the Small Pox was
83$. In the year t8o: (the firit of the Vaccine
Ino-
culation) only 61 died of the Small Pox. In the
year tBO3 the number was reduced to 27, Vsit
the year I hoc there were only two. Sn that it
be fairly flaked, that in Vienna alone, 83$ lives were
fared annually by the praffice nt Vaccination. " In
the EaR Indies, 800pooperrons bad been vaccinated
in bne year, and it bad been introduced generally into
Chin'.' While all other nations were deriving the
.great.
eft beisefits from this difcovery. its progrefs In this
country from which it originated, was taking a retro.
grade movement; In London, the 'average deaths by
the (mall pox for fix years before the difcovery was
16 t t.. The firß year, however; that the Vaccine was
introduced, the number fell to 61 t • Since that time,
whether from the influence of certain-pamphlets, or
Whether it was that perfons had been inoculated" wittf
a varioloos matter that was not the true cow pox, the
minds of the public feemed more wavering tattle inn
portar.ce of the difcovery, and the deaths y the finall-
pox were nearly as great' as aver. The lore in'the
laft year was 5685, being very little lore than the
average before the difcovery. This circumftaned
claimed the mot ferious attention of the Houle. It
certainly was not his intention to propofe any thing
tonsittlfory upon the fubje49, but he thought that
* Houle thould at lean give all the authority and
bodice that it could •to the fupport of a difcovery,
which be cmceived of the fiat importance for the
health and welfare or the human race. The meafure
he had now to propofe was to move, " that an hum-
ble Addicts be prelented to his Maijefty, praying him
to dire& his College of Phyficians to enquire into the
Rate of Vaccine Inoculation, and its effeet in deftroy-
ing the (mall pox, and to report the evidence upon
the ruble°, and the caulks which have retarded its
progrefs ih the United Kingdom ; and that this Re-
port thonld be laid before Parliament." He hoped
that this Report would be ready before the cons.
nsencement of the next Seffion, and thould it be fa-
vourable, as he had every rearm to expel, it would
become a futons eonfideration with the Houle, what
ceps (tumid be taken to make the difcovery as ben*
field to this country as it had been to other nations.
'lt 'would alto be a fubjet for their confideration,
whether any rertard at all adeqmte to the impor.
tinie of the difenvery. or worthy the charaSer and
liberality of this country, had been given to a man
who, by the entire applioation of his mind to this ful*
jet}, had been enabled to render fuel important kr-
vices, not only to this country and to Europe, but to
the world ; fervices which would not be confined to
the prefent gtneration, but which would be felt as
long as the hit man'race
• Mr. MATTHEWS rofe to fecund the motion.—'
He had at firlt fume doubts as to the ufefuleefs of the
difcovery, and had attentively watched its progrefr,
and the refult ;was that he was fully convinced of its
great value. The Small-pox Inoculation, he Rated,
was liable to great objeSions. Death in many in-
Rance' enfued: though beneficial to the individuals,
it was a magazine of contagion' and it had, betides..
the effeels of thinning up another difeafe in the human
frame, which was the fcrophula. The Cow-pox
Inoculation was not liable to thefe objeaions„ and he
was of opinion that in the cafes in which it had fail-
ed. it had not been fairly tried. He had no doubt
that pofterity would enrol the name of leaner among
I thole,

Mr. WILBERFORCE did not•hope that mna.
good would be derived from the Report of the Col
lege of Phyficians, as almoft every medical man r 1
any eminence in London: had certified In favour of :t.
He differed with the Noble Lord in one refpeft, as he
conceived that there might fairly be Come degree of
compulfion ufed on the part of Legillature Certainly
it would be unjuft to compel petcocks to be vaccinated,
bat it would be by no means union to compel per-
tons, who chofe to be inoculated with the Small-pot.
to take fuch precautions as fhould be judged neceft
fary to prevent the fpreading of the infection to
others. Although it might be unfair to compel per.
tons to take precautions for their individual (murky,
it was perfectly fair, by Legiftative compulfion, to
prevent them from injuring Tociety by fpreading in.
feeious diforders. In the eats of the plague, and
other infections diforders, very rigorous meatuses
are taken by all Governments to prevent the fpread-
ing of the infection, and he could not fee why the
fame fhould not, in a letter degree. be applied to the
Smallpox. At prefect, perfons not only inoculated
their children for the Small.poi, but fent them, afterl
they were inoculated, among other children who were
not Wafted, and in this manner fpread contagion
over the whole neighbourhood. He conceived at a
duty that the Government owed to fociety, to pro-
tect the people from this, as welt as every other fpe.
ties of contagion or pellikesse as far as trite regale.
dons could do it. The obje& of his mating there

fion, and confider whether it would notleortfkaly

Mr. WlNDHANfexpreffed his fatisaftion to find
tech a general uniformity of fetainsent to the ram-
fure propefed by his Noble Friend. The only point
of differeace lay in the mode which an Hon. Member
had thought it better to puttee. He bad fuggefted,
that the enquiries of a Committeeof Parliament were
better calculated .to produce an hnpreffion on the
public mind. Rat upon a fubjea of a profelSonal
nature, it appeared to him, that a Committee of the
Houk were much lets competent to decide, than a
body of Phyficians. This was a diftinftion founded
on evident principles ; and, for the fame rufous, it
was to be fuppofed, that the authority of medical
men would be much spore geoerally recognieed.--.
When, however, the report of the College was made,
the authofity of Parliament would be employed to
give additional weight and solemnity to their decifion.
It was the evidence of medical men which gave
ftrength to the Report of a former Committee ; and
their enquiries would afford the belt chance of over-
coming error, and of guiding the public opinion, on
a matter of which they were peculiarly competent to
judge. His Hon. Friend had recommended a cer-
tain degree of compulfion and reftraint, in order to
prevent the fpread of contagion. But to Inch men.
tures he trufted the Houle would not recur, except in
cafes of great neceffity. Such a degree of reftraint
was ftill mote defirable before the pralitice of inoesla-
don was introduced, and yet it had not been retorted
to. He mull confets, however, that no man who
was in the habit of walking in the ftre,ets of London,
could help being fcandalized at the frequent expofurs
Of children, even in the midi of crowds, covered with,
the hull pox, and capable of diffufing the contagion
all around. Still, however, the Route fhould be flow
to retort to any modes of compullion ; and he trait.
ed that the mealure now before the Houle 'would
ultimately remove the netteffity of having recourfe to
compulfion and reftraint.
Mr. WILBERFORCE explained, and obterved,
that be had only thought it worthy of conftdetatien,
whether modes of regulation, not hat& in thensfelves,
might be adopted for preventing the fpread of infec-
tion.

Mr. BANKES, confidering the late period of the
Seffion, approved of the mode which had been pro-
pored by the Noble Lord,though he thought that an
invelligation by a Committee of the Hoofs would
prove the inoft fetisfatiory. But he now underßood,
that it was' propofed to combine the two together,
and that the opinion of the College of Phylicians
would be followed up by the Refolutions of a Com•
Mince of the Mode. He conceived, however, that
at it was merely the examination of a fa@ whether
the 'Vaccine Inoculation would afford a protection
from the Smallpox or not,•s Committee of the Hoofs
were folly conthetCnt to decide upon it. 1t was a
queftion of fat, not of feience, and :null be:decided
by the evidence that would come before them. Btu
as the prefent plan feemed' to combine the advan-
tages of both modes of enquiry, sodas the report of
the College was to receive the ultimate fanellon of
Parliament, the prefent meafure fhould meet with
his hearty concurrence. The reafon why 'the Vaccine
Inoculation had failed in Come inflances in this coos-
try feemed to be, that it was not confined, as in other
countries, to fsientific perfons. The whole procefs
had here been fo completely dekribed, and made fo
plain, that it had been taken up indtfcriminately, and
hence a fpurious inoculation might in lonic inflames
have taken place, which had excited lone prejudices
in the public mind agaii►tl the practice. He 'diked
that another learned body, the College of Surgeons,
thould alfo take a part in the enquiry. The Small
Pox was a difeafe which had been very much in their
bands, and therefore they were able to give very ima
portant information on the fubjett. The Week*
Inoculation, if really effectual, would ultimately find
its way in fpite of the oppofition and prejudices which
had been excited against it; there WAS a good fenfe
in the people of England that would not long permit
them to oppofe the triAlh, and in that cafe he conceived
that the reward bellowed on the man who bad made
the difcovery, would not be found a remuneration
fufficiently ample.
Mr. WILLIAM SMITH concurred with his Ho•
nourable Friend in thinking, that the College of Sot-
geons fhoutd be joined to that of the Phyficians in
the prefent enquiry ; and afcribeci the prejudices
which had arifen againft the practice to the ignorance
and inattention of thole who had communicated the
inoculation. lie exprefred his fatisfadtion, that the
Cubic@ had been brought forward by a Noble Lord
of high official and private character, and conceiv-
ed, that the fentimeuts delivered on the ncealion
would tend to remove thole prejudices which were
rather founded on authority than obfervation, and
which were, therefore, more likely to be removed
by the weight of authority than by reafoning.
Mr. PAULL begged leave to date a f 4.9 to the
Hoofs, with regard to the Oats of the Vaccine Inc•

culation in India. At Ltreknow, where he relded
for two years, the annual average of deaths from the
Small Pox had been 670; but in the lag year, from
r 1 the general practice of Vaccine Inoculation, not more
r than 6o had died of that diforder ; and there the me•
dical practitioners were two centuries behind thole
of this country. He alto fuggefted as prejudices lave
very ftrong againft the practice in the North of Scot-
land, that the Edinburgh College of Phyficians
Otould be applied to, as being more likely to remove
prejudices in that part of the country.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
ex-
preffedhis high fatisfalion at the general concurrence
of the Houle in the fentiments which he had expref•
fed. It was undoubtedly his with, as had been Rated
by an Honourable Frienil, that the prefent meafure
lhould be ultimately followed up, by fubmitting
the whole to a Committee of Parliament. But he
could not fee that the queilion came merely under
the idea of a fad, which could be as well decided
by the Houfe as by Medical Men. The Com-
mittee, for inftance, could not inveftigate a certain
11. criterion, with regard to the matter that is em•
ployed in diffuting the Vaccine Inoculation, by which
it might be clearly dininguithed from matter of a
fpurious kind. As there was reafon to believe, that
the introduction of fpurious matter had been the
Great caufe of thole partial failures which had ex-
cited prejudices again& the pradice ;tie% hence an
invelligation of this kind became of material impor.
tame. Another enquiry, for which prolllonal men
were much more competent, would.alfo be made into
the reality of thole reports which bad afcribed the
generating of other diforders to the vaccine Matter.
It had been awed, for intlance, to have produced a
feorbutie tendency e and Purely an enquiry into the
truth of this aftertion could only be properly made
by medical Practitioners. He conceived alf3, that
oat centre of enquiry would be (ally fufficient, and
probably more effeflual than if fereral bodies of
profeifional men were combined for the purport.,
But he had no doubt that the CoNege of Surgeons,
as well as private indiilduals would tOrrefpond with
the learned Body to whom the enquiry would be re-
ftrtvd, and communicate filch information as might
render their Report more complete and fatisfaßory.
On ale nature of that Recants When communicated,
livery ulterior proceeding of the Houle would depend.
The Addres was then agrted tO,Olemine contradficeste.
