Examples

“I presume the author means by 'after vaccination,' what I should express⟳ by after insertion of vacciolous matter⟳, or after the attempt⟳ to vacciolate; and yet, when he mentions that zealots on one side have⟳ called the eruptions after it by one name⟳, and those on the other by another; I am at a loss to comprehend him; because, if it were only after the attempt⟳, the advocates of vacciolation would have⟳ no cause of surprize or disappointment in finding small-pox; the opponents no triumph.”

“(see⟳ title)”

“In the year 1801, a gentleman inoculated his own⟳ two boys and two of his servants with vacciolous matter⟳, that was sent by Dr. Pearson; on the eighth, tenth, and twelfth days I Saw⟳ their arms, and was well satisfied that vacciolation had taken place⟳.”

“In 1802 he set⟳ up as a vaccinator at the house of a Friend, Joseph Fox, a dentist in Lombard Street, and shortly afterwards, chiefly through the interest⟳ of Friends, he was appointed resident inoculator to the Royal Jennerian Society, with a salary of £200 a year, coal and candles, and liberty to take⟳ fees for private " vacciolation".”
