New Observations on Inoculation/An Account of a Series of Experiments/Introduction
INTRODUCTION.
THE following sheets were originally intended to be communicated, either to the Royal Society, as papers upon inoculation have been published in the Philosophical Transactions, ever since that practice has been introduced into Great-Britain; or to the Society of Physicians in London, who have already published three volumes of Medical Observations and Inquiries: but as they exceeded the bounds usually allowed to a single production in those works, it was thought advisable to lay them before the public separately.
