Description Of ItemStuart had sent Jenner an honorary fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. Jenner apologises for having taken so long to acknowledge the diploma. He is happy to report that 'the practice of vaccine inoculation goes smoothly forward...Who would have thought the Chinese would adopt it?' He then mentions people who have written pamphlets against inoculation and the affect that has had. He has now inoculated over 20,000 cases with 'not a single instance of failure'.
