Written by his friend, the physician John Baron (1786-1851), this
laudatory biography of the 'father of immunology' did much to
enhance the reputation of Edward Jenner (1749-1823) upon its
publication in two volumes between 1827 and 1838. The work covers
Jenner's personal and professional life both before and after his
development of the vaccine for smallpox, as well as touching on the
vaccine's reception and use around the world. Thoroughly explaining
the history and facts of vaccination, Baron established himself as
an authority on the subject. Although criticised by some for its
unquestioning praise of Jenner's genius, the work is valuable for
its use of primary sources, drawing heavily on correspondence and
personal notes, excerpts of which appear throughout the text.
Volume 2, published in 1838, covers Jenner's later life and the
global reception of vaccination. The appendix lists the various
honours bestowed upon him.
