TO TIM SICERIMAILT OF STAIR 1011 THZ HOMO IMPARTMENT.
(Presented pursuant to an Address of the House of Commons,
bearing date the 13th February, 1820.
I lth February, lege, Percy-street.
To the Right Honourable Rosser Ps.m.. Secretary of State for the
Home Department.
Ste—We have the honour to inform you, that the result of the
last year's experience is highly favourable to vaccination, and that
we hear most satisfactorily, pot only of its protective influence. but
of its wider diffusion.
It is true, that cases are reported to us very often of the occur-
rencrof small pox after vaccination ; but we have reason to believe
that the number of those who fall into this safe, though sometimes
severe disease, after vaccination, is not greater than that of those
who formerly died by inoculation, while that practice prevailed. .
With regard to the diffusion of this protection, whether we judge
by the ea tent of the demand which has been mole upon the Board
for authentic lymph in the course of the last year, or collect from
accounts received of the practice of vaccination in new countries,
we are satisfied that the prejudices against it are less pertinacious
than they were; and where it intim resorted to with that alacrity
and thankfulness which such a blessing might justly demand, the
failure is rather to be attributed to a propensity in human nature to
disregard danger at a distance, and to wait till the evil be at the •
door, before measures are taken to prevent it, than to a distrust of
its saving influence. > .
In proof of its wider diffusion, we learn that it it now practised,
not only throughout the Morea and the countries inhabited by the
Greeks, but that it has been admitted into Constantinople, and into
the Palace of the Sultan, in spite of the prejudices which the religion
of the 31akometans opposes to any measure intended to interfere
with the destinies of life. Su that the advantages which this country
derived from the east in the last century, by the acquisition of
inoculation from thence, it has now abundantly requited. by im-
parting to the same region the safer practice of vaccination, by which
the smallpox, equal to their men plague in the severity of its visi-
tations, has been already disarmed of its terrors, and in the course of
years may, possibly, be exthignished altogether.—We have, &c.
