Power, Joseph. Compendio storico del metodo nuovo d inoculare il vajuolo.Venice, Carlo Palese, 1770. 8vo. 102p. Contemporary block-printed coloured floral boards; rebacked. Italian translation of a treatise on Daniel Sutton s new method of inoculating against smallpox as employed in England. The new technique, using injection rather than incision, was pioneered by Sutton s father and perfected by Sutton himself. He had inoculated 3000-4000 people by 1766 before any other physician had considered a similar method. Apart from increased safety, it was also possible to inoculate delicate or ill patients (previously perfect health had been a prerequisite) and treatment could be carried out all year round whereas earlier inoculators had favoured the spring and autumn. The first part of the work deals with the origins and progress of inoculation in general, the second provides details of Sutton s system, concluding with a number of attestations to the efficacy of the technique. The author, a pupil of Sutton, composed this work originally in French (published 1769) in order to further inoculation in France. This Italian translation from the French is the only other version available of the text. Blake, p361; Wellcome IV,428. N� de ref. del art�culo ABE-1413638288
