HanoverMr. URBAN, fquare, April 12. ***EARING lately of the great fuccefs attending inoculation for the fmallpox at Luton in Bedfordshire, I was naturally led to enquire into the feveral particulars relative to that matter. Amongst other informations, fome of them perhaps of doubtful authority, I have been favoured with the following authentic account by the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Stuart. rector of the parish. If you should judge the communication to be of fufficient importance to the pub Jick, I doubt not of your giving it a place in your Magazine; in which cafe, it may be deemed a curiofity by fome of your readers to be informed, that Mr. Stuart is a grandfon of the late Lady Mary Wortley Montague, who first introduced inoculation into this country, To Sir William Fordyce. In anfwer to your letter concerning the fuccefs of the inoculation at Luton, I take the liberty of troubling you with the following facts. Towards the end of laft fummer, a fmall-pox of the most malignant kind preyailed at Luton. Notwithstanding every Alarmed at the care that human prudence could fuggeft, as to cleanliness, medicine, and attendance, fcarcely more than half of our patients furvived this dreadful difeafe; and though they were kept at fome diftance from the town, it was found impoffible to prevent the infection from fpreading. danger, I endeavoured to overcome the prejudice and fears of the people, and prevail on them to be inoculated. Accordingly, in the courfe of three days, a furgeon of the neighbourhood communicated the infection to 928 paupers, who were judged incapable of paying for themfelves; and foon after to 287 more, moftly at their own charge. Of these 1215, only five died, and those under the age of four months; as you will fee by the attefted lift which is inclofed. Mean time Mr. Kirby and Mr. Chafe, the furgeons refident at Luton, inoculated about 700 of the better fort, with an equal fuccefs. Even from this statement, the advantage of inoculation is manifeft; but the following circumstances fet this advantage in a Stronger light. Many paupers have fince thewed me the preparatory medicines, which, notwithstanding all their promites to take, they had omitted; and the extent of the parith (it heing nearly thirty-three miles in circumference) rendered impof fible to prevent their procuring strong li quors. Thefe circumftances, that few fube mitted to regimen, and that fome did not A Two house-martias (hirundo urbica) feen.-/ Two fwifts (hirundo apus) appear.Swallows frequent chimnies. Medlar (mefpilus germanica) blows. A pair of redbacked butcher birds have built a neft in a quickfet hedge. The eggs are white, and furrounded at the biggest end by a circle of brown spots, " coronæ inftar *."— Fly catcher (mulicapa grifola) appears. In outlets about town, where moffes, lichens, and goffamer, &c. are wanting, birds do not make nefts fo peculiar each to its fpecies.. Thus the net of the chaffinch hath not that elegant appearance, nor is it fo beautifully ftudded with lichens, as thofe in the country; and the wren is obliged to conftruct his neft with itraws and dry graffes, which da not give it that roundness and compactness so remarkable in the edifices of that little ar elited. |
