yep Dr. Boylston has a street and a subway stop named after him.
Smile.
Was one of the first named streets in Boston actually, as they intended to
go alphabetically but it ended at Coplay.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

It's a long book but an interesting and readable one.
If you don't enjoy editing, Shelley, just put it up
with a warning that it needs work. I've already read
it, but if no one else has taken it by the time I
finish a few other things, I'll take it.
It was so readable and interesting I even read the
notes at the end, which I rarely do.
Folks, this book is about 18th-century Boston and
England and the problems that a Boston physician (for
whom a street is named) and an English noblewoman had
in introducing an early method of innoculation for
smallpox. Lady Mary Montague was quite a person and
had quite an interesting and slightly scandalous life,
and the people and politics in Boston at the time was
also interesting. One learns as much about the history
and people living in both places at the time as about
Dr. Boylston's and Lady Montague's (I think I have her
name correct) efforts to prevent smallpox in their
cities.
