Title: Early American Medicine Benjamin Waterhouse Signed Note from the Harvard Physician Who Introduced Smallpox Vaccination to the United States
Author: Benjamin Waterhouse
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1814. Waterhouse, Benjamin. Autograph note signed written after 1814 by Benjamin Waterhouse, the Harvard physician who introduced Edward Jenner's smallpox vaccination to the United States and helped establish the earliest vaccination campaigns in North America. Waterhouse emerged as a central figure in early American public health after learning of Jenner's experiments in England and promoting the new inoculation method in the United States at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Through his advocacy and experimentation, including early vaccination trials in Massachusetts, Waterhouse played a decisive role in demonstrating the practicality of vaccination as a preventive measure against smallpox, a disease that had caused repeated epidemics in the Atlantic world. Waterhouse, Benjamin. Autograph note signed. [After 1814]. The brief manuscript reads: "Please to exchange this vol. of Ld. Sheffield's works of Gibbon for the 4th." Boldly signed "B. Waterhouse." The note refers to the collected works of historian Edward Gibbon edited by John Baker Holroyd, Earl of Sheffield, whose multi volume edition of Gibbon's Miscellaneous Works was issued in expanded form beginning in 1814. Waterhouse's request concerns the exchange of volumes within that set, specifically requesting the fourth volume which contained Gibbon's classical and critical writings. Benjamin Waterhouse served as the first professor of the theory and practice of physic at Harvard Medical School and became one of the earliest American proponents of vaccination following Edward Jenner's discovery of the cowpox vaccine in 1796. In 1800 he carried out the first successful vaccination experiments in the United States and actively promoted the method through publications and public demonstrations, helping to establish vaccination as a recognized medical practice in the early republic. Manuscript material signed by Waterhouse provides documentary evidence from a physician whose efforts helped introduce vaccination to American medicine during the formative years of public health in the United States. Glue residue along the edges and general age toning. Otherwise very good condition.

Title: [Handbill from the Alameda County Political Equality Society Calling for Poll Watchers]
Author: [California]. [Women's Suffrage]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Alameda, Ca, 1896. Very good.. Handbill, 8.5 x 5.25 inches. Old folds, minor wear. An apparently unrecorded resolution involving the first ballot measure calling for women's suffrage in California in the waning years of the 19th century. Here, the Alameda County Political Equality Society calls for two representatives to be present at each polling place in the county to ensure that votes are "properly canvassed and returned." Particularly at issue was Amendment No. 6 in the election, "extending the right to women to vote." A printed note at the bottom of the document states that the resolution was "Passed by the Board of Supervisors of Alameda County, at their regular meeting, November 2nd, 1896." The prospect of calling for representatives to monitor polling places indicates the political unrest brought forth during the suffrage movement. Of particular interest on this handbill are the vote tallies handwritten on the verso, beginning with the county or precinct totals for President and including numerous other state and local races; for example, William McKinley received 116 votes to W.J. Bryan's 34. The handwritten tallies do not include totals for the Women's Suffrage Amendment, but it was ultimately defeated statewide by a healthy margin of about 27,000 votes. The present handbill provides a unique record of a failed attempt in California to secure for women the right to vote at the close of the 19th century. It would take another fifteen years for women to achieve the franchise right, when a similar amendment to the California Constitution narrowly passed (by just over 3,500 votes) in 1911.
