tenderness truly parental. He had another brother, the Rev. Henry Jenner, many years domestic chaplain to the Earl of Aylesbury, and vicar of Great Bedwin, Wilts; father of the Rev. George Jenner, and of Mr. Henry Jenner, surgeon, of Berkeley ; whose names so frequently appear in the history of Vaccine Inoculation.After receiving a classical education at Cirencester, and learning the rudiments of surgery and pharmacy from Mr. Ludlow of Sodbury, a man of high professional eminence, he was placed under the immediate tuition of the late Mr. John Hunter; with whom he lived two years as a house pupil. In liberal minds a congeniality of talent and purC suitssuits lays the foundation of sincere and lasting friendship. This observation is fully exemplified by that friendship which ever after subsisted between the celebrated preceptor and his pupil. A constant correspondence was kept up between them, which only ceased with the death of the former.As a proof in what estimation Mr. Hunter held the abilities of Dr. Jenncr, we may remark, that he offered him a partners-hip in his profession, which was extremely valuable. Mr. Hunter was desirous of giving lectures on natural history upon an extensive plan; and, justly appreciating the abilities of his pupil Jenner, and his ardour and perseverance in those enquiries, he well knew the ample support he should derive from the acquisition of his talents.After finishing his studies in London, Dr. Jenner settled at Berkeley. His attachment to this situation was so strong, that nothing seemed capable of seducing him from it; neither the offers of a connection with Mr. Hunter, nor the allurements of the eastern World, though held up to him in the most dazzling point cf view, could tempt him to desert it, for no mortal was ever more channcd with the place of his nativity than Dr. Jenner.He continued the practice of physic and surgery at Berkeley, with increasing success and reputation ; and, did the limits of our publication permit, we could enumerate many instances of his eminent skill and singular ingenuity in the healing art, during this period of his life.From the extent of bis practice, his professional t dutiesduties became extremely laborious ; and, as it continued to increase, he was under the necessity of relinquishing the most fatiguing parts of his business He therefore took out a diploma.In , Dr. Jenncr married Miss Catherine Kingscote, sister to Colonel Robert Kingscote, of Kingscote in Gloucestershire; a family of the higheft antiquity and respectability in the county, by whom he has three children, two sons and a daughter.Having disengaged himself from surgery, he had leisure for the pursuit of other studies more congenial to his mind ; physiology, and natural history. But, even previously to this event, notwithstanding the pressure of numerous avocations, he frequently found opportunities of indulging his favourite propensity. By the joint aid of actual observation, and apposite conjecture, he completely elucidated a very obscure and much disputed point in the natural history of the cuckoo. The originality of this disquisition excited much attention among naturalists. He was soon after elected a fellow of the Royal Society.Among other discoveries in the early part of his life, we may notice a mode of producing pure emetic tartar by a new and easy process, which was published in some of the medical journals of that day. We may also refer our readers to a late publication by the ingenious Dr. Parry, of Bath, wheroin it appears, that the discovery of the cause of that dreadful ma. lady, the anginy pectoris, originated with Dr. Jenner. Strong as was the attachment of Dr. Jenner to hisC  native native valley, yet circumstances soon occurred, which rendered his presence in London absolutely necessary. We allude to his most happy discovery of Vaccine Inoculation ; to the history of which we now hasten, as the most important part of this narrative.For the discovery of the divine art of vaccination, we are indebted to a fortunate
