First Italian edition. This still-timely booklet by the vaccination pioneer Tissot (1728-97), which first appeared in Lausanne in 1754 and was reprinted with additions in 1774, examines the progress of inoculation throughout Europe and defends the method from the malicious criticism of its detractors.

Rough covers duststained. A large dampstain throughout with some browning. Untrimmed, unsophisticated copy. Rare; only four copies recorded outside Italy (Lausanne, NLM, Johns Hopkins, Univ. of California Berkeley).
