http://www.foundersofscience.net/lady_mary_montagu.htm has her letter remarking on variolation "they hold parties ...smallpox"
I'm not much for genealogy, but I'm confused by Montagu's relation to Henry Fielding. It says here that she's his niece, but is she possibly his aunt? He used her for literary connections, and according to his entry, he's born in 1707 vs her 1689. I guess it's technically possible she's his niece? But could someone explain their genealogy? My brief google research has not given much insight. Lydgate 17:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I've read somewhere that Montague Street in Brooklyn is named for Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Is that correct? If so, it might be mentioned in the main entry. Jim Lacey ( talk) 13:33, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
While this article states that Lady Mary Wortley Montagu was born in London the article on Thoresby Hall claim Lady Mary Wortley Montagu as being born there.
I've removed this, as it is simply impossible: her ancestors weren't Montagus (it was her married name). -- NellieBlyMobile ( talk) 00:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
What's the correct spelling ? Kintaro ( talk) 15:24, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
This article still contains a large amount of text from the EB1911 article. As such it has to be properly attributed including inline citations -- See the guideline Copying material from free sources -- PBS ( talk) 09:03, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Her birth date of 15 May is sourced to Isobel Grundy (1999). But I can't confirm that citation. Here, all she says is "April or May".
Exactly where does the specific date of 15 May come from? -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 21:02, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
I noticed that there weren't any images of Montagu's literary works, so I uploaded and added an image of the title page of The Letters and Works of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, which was published in 1837. LesBrooks ( talk) 21:55, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Is not the reference to the elimination of smallpox in Russia in the 20th century, long after her lifetime, digressive to this article? After all, it was achieved after Russia made vaccination (not inoculation) mandatory. Would Lady Wortley Montagu even have been celebrated under the Communist regime? A regime the article text describes as 'the new people's government' in the article text - sounds like political POV here from a Soviet inspired source. The material belongs more to an article on the history of smallpox vaccination and eradication. Cloptonson ( talk) 06:51, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

"The evidence indicates that smallpox inoculation was practiced in China in around 1000 AD and in India, Turkey, and probably Africa as well 3, 9, 10, 11, 12. The inoculation, ‘the process of injecting an infective agent in a healthy person, which leads to often mild disease and preventing that individual from future serious disease’ was common in India 12."
