 Edward Jenner and Vaccination - Vaccination
As Sir William Osler truly says, "It is not a little remarkable that in a disease, which is rightly regarded as the type of all infectious maladies, the specific virus still remains unknown." The same, however, is true of the common diseases of scarlatina, measles and chickenpox.
It was in 1780 that Jenner set himself to study cowpox in a way that had never before been attempted, for he was convinced that in the having had an attack of the disease lay the secret of the conquest of that world-scourge.
Jenner knew well the difference between the reaction of clean vaccination and that of an infected arm, but a great many medical men of his time did not, and so he was constantly plagued with reports of vaccinations "going wrong" when it was septic infection of uncleansed skin that had occurred.

 Casebook: Jack the Ripper - William Withey Gull - A Biographical Sketch (1896)
William Withey Gull was born at Colchester, in the parish of St. Leonard's, on December 31st, 1816.
In figure Sir William Gull was of medium height, and squarely built, of great strength and vigour, and endowed with a power of physical endurance such as alone could have enabled him to do the vast amount of work which he successfully carried out during all his professional life.
Sir William was gifted with a strong power of sympathy with suffering in every form, but more especially was this the case when the sufferer belonged to one of three classes -the young, the aged, or the sick ; these, he said, must always be helped.

 Edward Jenner and the Discovery of Vaccination
Jenner's Inquiry, first published in 1798, reported how, over a period of years, he had noticed the immunity provided by cow-pox, and how he decided deliberately to introduce the disease into a patient to see if the effect could be artificially produced.
Part of Jenner's argument in the Inquiry was built up from cases like this one, recording Jenner's failure to inoculate or infect with small-pox itself ("variolate") a farmworker who some years before has caught a bad case of the cow-pox.
Woodville, like Jenner himself, had close ties to Sir Joseph Banks, the influential long-time president of the Royal Society, and his support for vaccination was of great importance to its acceptance.

The "Tranby Croft Case" (1890), in which Sir William Gordon Cumming brought an unsuccessful libel action for having been accused of cheating at a game of baccarat, caused some comment in connection with the prince's appearance in the witness-box on behalf of the defendants.
The operation -- performed by Sir Frederick Treves -- was, however, so marvellously successful, and the king's progress towards recovery so rapid and uninterrupted, that within a fortnight he was pronounced out of danger, and soon afterwards it was decided to hold the coronation service on August 9.
It was noticed that the permanent undersecretary for foreign affairs, Sir Charles Hardinge, generally accompanied the king as one of his suite on his visits abroad; and the conclusion of the Anglo-Russian agreement (1907) which was attributed with some reason to royal policy -- was hotly criticized in Radical quarters.

He also moved into the sphere of social realism, as shown in his work "Visiting Day at Newgate." Pictures of this type showing the dreadful conditions of the urban poor were felt to be disloyal to the country, and Empire, by the Victorian establishment.
Sir Alfred Temple in "Painting in the Queen's Reign," says that Holl's technique was always 'good and free, and his own.' Frank Holl was not physically strong, was of a nervous disposition, and grossly overworked.
The wise Sir Alfred tells us, that in his last year, eight portraits by the artist were on the Academy walls, and that they were portraits of such men of influence, and celebrity that they could not fail to tax the power of any painter.

Jenner reported that, while it would have been better had Alamayou remained a further two years in a warmer climate, yet he might reside in the south of England with very small risk, provided he had a comfortable home.
Both he and Dr. Quain were opposed to the idea of sending the boy to a public or private boarding school and recommended placing him with a tutor who might have two or three pupils and that Captain Speedy should stand in loco parentis and receive the boy at holiday time.
The Queen was informed of his illness, and on November 4th noted that she had seen Sir Henry Ponsonby after luncheon and told him to telephone to Lady Biddulph asking her to go to see Alamayou.

Perhaps one reason why it is hard today to detect Brewster’s influence on modern optics, and why his renown is unknown to so many students and scientists, was because it was usually left to others to make interpretations of his observations.

Their son was Alexander Miller, also a surgeon, and their eldest daughter married Sir Patrick Heron Watson, twice President of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
Many of the items appear to have been collected by Miller up to his death in 1864 and these were added to subsequently, most likely by his son, Alexander - the oldest item is from Lord Southesk (1828) and the youngest is a letter from Joseph Lister that dates from 1901.
Post-1864 letters within the A-S ordering (the exceptions mentioned above) appear to have been inserted subsequently, behind, above or to one side of letters of the first ordering – their placing is less than ideal – or on the even numbered pages that may have been left blank at first.
