(1) Condensed from Dr. Boerhaave's Academical Lectures on the Theory of
Physic. London, 1751, pp. 77, 78. Boerhaave's lectures were published as
Aphorismi de cognoscendis et curandis Morbis, Leyden, 1709. On this
book Van Swieten wrote commentaries filling five volumes. Another very
celebrated work of Boerhaave is his Institutiones et Experimenta
Chemic, Paris, 1724, the germs of this being given as a lecture on his
appointment to the chair of chemistry in the University of Leyden in
1718.
(2) An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variola Vaccine, etc.,
by Edward Jenner, M.D., F.R.S., etc. London, 1799, pp. 2-7. He wrote
several other papers, most of which were communications to the Royal
Society. His last publication was, On the Influence of Artificial
Eruptions in Certain Diseases (London, 1822), a subject to which he had
given much time and study.
