1783101073Boston: Robert Hodge for William Green 1783. Third edition. 8vo. 91 5 ads. Original wrappers; spine perished; covers stained foxing. From the library of Hallowell Maine physician Benjamin Page 1770-1844 one of the earliest proponents of Jenner's smallpox vaccine in America with a presentation to Page on the ffep: "For Dr. Benja. Page From his most obt. humble servant A. Stoddard. Hallowell ME 17th Sept. 1793" and signed by Page on the front wrapper "Benjamin Page's 1793". "Memoir of Benjamin Page M.D. 1770-1844" published in The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal 1845 describes Page's early use of the smallpox vaccine: "he was furnished with some vaccine matter by his most intimate and attached friend Benjamin Vaughan Esq. who had just received it directly from the hands of Dr. Jenner of London. He immediately made use of it and was the first American physician be it known who applied the vaccine virus to the arm of a human subject in this country." The vaccine matter used by Page proved to be inert thus the credit for this major advance in public health would go not to Page but to Benjamin Waterhouse whose experiments were being conducted simultaneously: "Great was Page's disappointment however upon finding the matter dry and inert more especially as a portion of the same parcel which had been sent to Boston proved operative and gave to a distinguished medical philosopher of the times the enviable reputation which he himself would otherwise have obtained" ibid. Page persevered procuring a new sample from Boston as well as cultivating his own vaccine matter from the arm of a women who had recently been vaccinated and was ultimately able to administer successful vaccinations against smallpox.PROVENANCE: Benjamin Page presentation and ownership inscriptions REFERENCE: Austin 1703; ESTC W21356; Evans 18178 Robert Hodge for William Green unknown
