An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae
Edward Jenner
A milkmaid who had caught cowpox never seemed to fall to smallpox: from that country observation, Edward Jenner built the world's first vaccine. This is his inquiry, presenting the cases that launched vaccination and, eventually, the end of a great killer. One of the most consequential books ever written. Read the discovery that would save more lives than any other.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
