Abstract
My Lord, The inclosed account of inoculation in the East, I have just received from my brother at Aleppo. and though nothing farther seems wanting in this country to remove prejudices against that practice, yet I thought its being made public might be of some use to other European nations, where such prejudices still prevail; and as a matter of curiosity, would not be unacceptable to the Royal Society. I have therefore taken the liberty to trouble your Lordship with it for that purpose.
