Transcription
Prince waited to reply to Sloane’s letter so he could send something of interest. He includes a ‘litle box with blew earth’ and comments on each specimen. Prince did not take stock of the age or symptoms of those who had been inoculated in Belfast. He suggests that most were between five and fourteen years of age and all had survived. Prince then recounts, in detail, an episode in which he ‘directed the inoculation of 4 children of a gentleman in the County of Derry’. Magnus Prince was a physician.
