Sobre este artículo
Paris: Chez Mequignon l'aîne, Libraire, 1801. Octavo. Quarter-leather over marbled boards. Contents: viii, 139 pages, followed by [5] pp. publisher's catalogue. Boards rubbed, with chip to head of spine; nonetheless, a sound binding. Extra-illustrated with two folding plates at rear, visualizing the progression of pustules following vaccination; these plates originally published and sold separately, as per notice to verso of half-title. Some toning to plates and foxing to preliminaries, with loss to lower corner of pp. 19-20 (not affecting text). An early French treatise on the effectiveness of the smallpox vaccine from a member of the Société Médicale de Parispublished only a year after the Comité Central de Vaccine began its initial three year study on the matter. Ranque here is most concerned with addressing the natural hesitancy that attends the adoption of medical innovationsJenner's new vaccine being the most contemporary exampleand he attempts to calm these anxieties with a wide-ranging (and energetic) summary of facts. Specifically, Ranque is motivated to respond directly to the objections of the early anti-vax movement, as well as to illustrate the advantages (and similarities) of vaccination to the traditional practice of variolation. In a supplemental chapter, Ranque supplies translated excerpts from the writings of Edward Jenner; representing some of their earliest exposure in France. Uncommon, with 8 OCLC records located in North America; not all of them confirming the extra-illustrated plates.
