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. Smile.

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.
