Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Boylston Prize Dissertations: On 1. Inflammation of the Periosteum;; 2. Eneuresis Irritata;; 3. Cutaneous Diseases;; 4. Cancer of the Breast; Also, Remarks on Animal and Vegetables Decomposition Several of the following essays have already appeared separately, in medical journals, at the times they were severally written. Having undergone some corrections, they are now presented in a separate volume. In preparing them for the press, it seemed proper to give the reader some account of the institution that gave rise to them, of the founder whose name it bears, and of the doings of its committees or trustees. The name of Boylston has long been associated with enterprizes that meliorate the condition, and adorn the character of man. Zabdiel Boylston, F. R. S. a native of Brookline, Massachusetts, introduced the practice of inoculating in small pox into America, in 1721. He commenced the experiment in his own family upon an only son, and, although it excited the strong opposition of the profession and the clamor of the populace, he soon triumphed, and had the satisfaction of seeing the practice adopted generally throughout the country. Nicholas Boylston, Esq., (son of Zabdiel) an opulent merchant in Boston, founded a professorship of oratory and rhetoric in Harvard University in 1771, which went into operation in 1805, Ex-President Adams, then a Senator in Congress, first occupying the chair.
