Summary of Jenner's will

Heads of the Will of Dr. Jenner, as ingrossed.

Watermark 1817. This ms. appears to have been drawn up contemporaneously with the will which it summarises [i.e. 1821-22].

c.1817

1 volume 4 ll. folio. 33 × 20 cm. Modern half-calf binding. Partly holograph, partly written by other hands.

Purchased at Sotheby's 27/11/1918, Lot 1012b (part).

Summarises Jenner's will and codicils made 1821-1822. Probably contemporary with the drawing up of the will.

From the Frederick Mockler Collection, exhibited at Bristol in 1893, and at Cardiff in 1896. Probably originally from the papers of Revd. William Davies (1769-1849), one of Jenner's executors.
