    ^ect. The Loivdon Vaccine Institution, from the extensive system it has adopted, is calculated to accomplish this great end. The Managers are animated with the ex- pectation, that the persevering exertions of this Society, aided by the wonted liberality of the public, will greatly contribute, at no distant period, to the annihilation of one of the greatest evils incident to the condition of man :—and that the Small-Pox, the desolating calamity of twelve cen- turies, will be remembered only by name. With an object of such magnitude and import- ance, WHETHER CONSIDERED AS AFFECTING DOMESTIC comfort, or NATIONAL INTEREST AND POLICY, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE MANAGERS CAN APPEAL TO PUBLIC BENEFICENCE IN VAIN? WITH A CONFIDENCE IN THE BENEVOLENCE OF THE BrITISH CHARACTER, THEY, AT PRESENT, RELINQUISH THE INTENTION OF APPLYING TO Parliament for its support, conscious, at the SAME time, that FOR SUCH SUPPORT, NO INSTITUTION CAN HAVE A STRONGER CLAIM. By Order of the Board of Managers, K HUGH BEAMS, Secretary.
