Public discourse ranged in tone from organized arguments by tobacconist and medical practitioner John Williams, who posited that " several arguments proving that inoculating the smallpox is not contained in the law of Physick, either natural or divine, and therefore unlawful ," to more slanderous attacks, such as those put forth in a pamphlet by Dr. William Douglass of Boston entitled The Abuses and Scandals of Some Late Pamphlets in Favour of Inoculation of the Small Pox ( 1721 ), on the qualifications of inoculation's proponents.

" In the end, Douglass grew to accept inoculation, but he stood his ground on the need for professional standards.

The exact year is also unknown ( on the first page of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, he stated: " I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it.

In later years, Douglass credited The Columbian Orator, which he discovered at about age twelve, with clarifying and defining his views on freedom and human rights.

The play " Father Chief Justice: Edward Douglass White and the Constitution " by LSU Law Center professor Paul Baier was based on White's life.

Two examples include Frederick Douglass ' belief that the constitution prohibited slavery, and the Constitution in Exile, which represents the belief by many political conservatives that the constitution limits the regulatory power of the United States Federal Government much more strongly than post New Deal court decisions would indicate.

There is, then, the possibility that this Af bond is symmetric, although Douglass was unable to determine its symmetry from his x-ray data.

Dr. Douglass was kind enough to lend us about 5 grams of his material.

Frederick Douglass ( born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, c. February 1818 – February 20, 1895 ) was an American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman.

Douglass was a firm believer in the equality of all people, whether black, female, Native American, or recent immigrant, famously quoted as saying, " I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.

Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, who later became known as Frederick Douglass, was born a slave in Talbot County, Maryland, between Hillsboro and Cordova, probably in his grandmother's shack east of Tappers Corner () and west of Tuckahoe Creek.

His mother died when Douglass was about 10.

At age seven, Douglass was separated from his grandmother and moved to the Wye House plantation, where Aaron Anthony worked as overseer.

Douglass first tried to escape from Freeland, who had hired him out from his owner Colonel Lloyd, but was unsuccessful.

At one of these meetings, Douglass was unexpectedly invited to speak.

Douglass was inspired by Garrison and later stated that " no face and form ever impressed me with such sentiments the hatred of slavery as did those of William Lloyd Garrison.

" Garrison was likewise impressed with Douglass and wrote of him in The Liberator.

His draw was such that some facilities were " crowded to suffocation "; an example was his hugely popular London Reception Speech, which Douglass delivered at Alexander Fletcher's Finsbury Chapel in May 1846.

Douglass remarked that in England he was treated not " as a color, but as a man.
