" ... facts ... chiefly extracted from a late work published in London in favour of vaccination"--P. [1].

"A comparative view of the natural small pox, inoculated small pox, and vaccination in their effects on individuals and society" (p. 6) is an abridged version of the table published anonymously in the Royal Jennerian Society's Address (London, 1803) under the title: A comparative view of the natural small-pox, inoculated small-pox, and inoculated cow-pox. In a separate edition "published by order of the Medical Council of the Royal Jennerian Society" and in a reprint of this on p. 104-105 of Charles Maclean's On the state of vaccination in 1810 (London, 1810) the author is identified as John Addington. The separate edition, Maclean states, "must have been published between 1803 and 1806."
