Kingston, "Dk. 15--(To the Editor) = I have read with much interest the let- ter of Anti-Compulsion, in your is- sue of Thursday. He seems to be much troubled about the legality of vaccina- tion, but he does not seem to wish his name to be known, as a man 'would if he was sure of his argument on this subjge Leaving all this argument about a and where it is produced let us go to the results of inoculation or vaccination, as 1 suppose this will be more to the point at this time. As appears from the researches of eminent writers, this disease, as also measles, had prevailed in China afd Hindustan, from remote history, ard had not extended to the more western na: tions till the sixth century. About this period these maladies reached the southern coasts of Arabia by vessels trading with India and broke out near Mecca, during the war of the Elephant in the year,569, immediately before the birth 'of Mahomet. During the later part of the sixth, and the whole of the seventh century, they were spread by the Arabians: over the remaining countries of Asia. In the eighth century, Europe was contaminated in consequence of the aracens invading Spain, Sicily, Italy and: France, They reached Saxony, Switzerland and England in. the ninth and, tenth, century, and lastly in the be- ginning of the sixteenth century, twelve years after: the death of Columbus.'

It is said that this method had been prac- tised by 'the Brahmins of India, time out of mind. At length, this practice of infloculation reached England in 1713. Dr. Emanuel Simoni, an Oxford graduate, who had settled in Constantinople wrote to Dr..Woodward giving an account of this new process, and testifying to its success.

It was introduced imto England from Turkey, by Lady Maraj Warthly Montague, about the year 172%, gfhose son was inoculated in Constantinople during her residence there, and whose daughter was the first person inoculated in England. Next was the daughter of Dr, Keith who had visited Miss Warthly Montague. After this six criminals who were pardoned on condition of submitting to the ex- perience, (and who all recovered)..in the year .1726, were inoculated.
