Excerpt from The Works of Edward Jenner and Their Value in the Modern Study of Smallpox
In his mental qualities Jenner has been compared with Franklin, and there is a resemblance in the sim plicity of his observations and methods, as when he settled the question as to the hottest part of a flame by putting his finger into it. Two other facts should be mentioned before we leave the man for his work. He suffered much from illness, his wife and one son were invalids and the latter required constant care. Besides, he had a tendency to indolence, of all the ill habits a man may fall into, the most diflicult to get rid of, he'said, adding: I for one am a sad example of the truth of this position, and this very sin has got me into more scrapes than all the rest put together.
