Abstract

The small pox, by the vigilant execution of the laws subsisting, in the several New England colonies, hath never generally prevailed among the inhabitants, excepting in Boston, the capital town, in the province of the Massachusett's Bay, where it has been epidemical, A. D. 1649, 1666, 1678, 1689, 1702, 1721, 1730, 1752 and at this present time, 1764, and where the success attending inoculation, after much opposition, and endeavours used to bring the same into disrepute, became incontestably evident.
