I cannot remember how it came into my possession but I have a copy of the Morning Chronicle for October 11, 1810.
It is full of interesting items including one on vaccination (Have Your Say, April 28): “Price One Shilling, An attempt to vindicate the practice of vaccination and to combat the prejudice entertained against that beneficial practice By G W Bartley, Surgeon, Mailsworth, Gloucestershire.
Printed for J Callow, Medical Bookseller, Crown-court, Princess Street, Soho.”
