This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

William Woodville was born at Cockermouth in Cumberland in 1752.
He studied medicine at Edinburgh University, where he became the favourite pupil of William Cullen, and graduated Doctor of Medicine
On 12 September 1775. After spending some time on the continent he began to practise at Papcastle in his native county, but shortly afterwards moved to Denbigh. In 1782 he came to London, became physician to the Middlesex dispensary, and was admitted a licentiate of the College of Physicians on 9 August 1784.
On 17 March 1791 he was elected physician to the smallpox and inoculation hospitals at Saint Pancras, in succession to Edward Archer, and published the first volume of a projected two-part history of inoculation (variolation) in 1796.
However, he became particularly interested in Edward Jenner"s introduction of what was soon to be known as smallpox vaccine, which used material obtained from cases of cowpox. He was one of the first to try the new method, but his results differed substantially from Jenner"s, and there was disagreement about the effects of the new procedure.
lieutenant was suspected at the time that Woodville"s vaccine had become contaminated with material from his smallpox patients, a conclusion supported by detailed analysis of the evidence. Woodville, who was elected a fellow of the Linnean Society in 1791, had a strong taste for botany, and appropriated two acres of ground at King"s Cross belonging to the hospital as a botanical garden, which he maintained at his own expense.
He wrote an important study of medical botany.
His portrait, by Lemuel Abbott, was presented to the smallpox hospital. lieutenant was engraved by William Bond.
