  <mods:abstract>Robert John Thornton published this detailed account of smallpox vaccination cases as an attack on Dr. Benjamin Moseley (1742-1819) and other opponents of Edward Jenner's work. In 1800, Moseley, a member of the Royal College of Physicians, suggested that the result of inoculation with cowpox matter might be "That the human character may undergo strange mutations from quadrupedean sympathy and that some modern Pasiphaë may rival the fables of old"—with the plate displayed here showing the result. Illustrated plate alluding to Pasiphae, from Robert John Thornton's Vaccinae Vindicia</mods:abstract>
