Scope and content
Letters of a leading Jennerian Jean De Carro to Louis Valentin. Letters, rather than published works, were the chief means by which Jenner and his associates made his discoveries and views known. These letters seem to show that Valentin played the role of French publicist for de Carro's work, as he did for Jenner's. The first letter describes the Jenner-Woodville-Pearson controversy over vaccination and subsequent letters deal with de Carro's efforts to promote vaccination in Europe and Asia, especially in India.
