エドワード・ジェンナー(1749年5月17日-1823年1月26日)、グロースターシャ州バークレー出身、彼が生涯の大半を過ごした当該農村の自宅はまた1796年に最初のワクチン接種を実施した場所でもある。

Edward Jenner, who was born on May 17th, 1749,. at Berkeley in Gloucestershire, died on Jan. 26th, 1823, in his house at that same village, where he spent the greater part of his life, and where in 1796 he performed the first vaccination. We print below the first and hitherto unpublished summary of his own observations on his work, as contained in the holograph manuscript in the library of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. The manuscript consists of 45 quarto pages, the numbers of which we indicate in brackets in the text. We have deleted certain references to an illustration and to what was apparently a case-book, neither of which are now available. On a blank page at the beginning is a note, also in Jenner’s own hand, which reads : ” On the Cow Pox. The original paper.” Certain emendations in the text suggest that he intended to send the paper to some society, but no evidence exists to show that it was ever sent. In June, 1798, Jenner published an amplification of his observations ; this classic treatise was entitled ” An Enquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolæ Vaccinae, a Disease discovered in some of the Western Counties of England, particularly Gloucestershire, and known by the name of the Cow Pox.” This book, ” printed for the author by Sampson Low, No. 7, Berwick-street, Soho, and sold by Law, Ave-Maria-lane ; and Murray and Highley, Fleetstreet,” is a quarto of 75 pages, dedicated to Dr. C. H. Parry of Bath. It contains coloured plates, one of which shows the hand of Sarah Nelmes with vaccine pustules upon it.
