A copy of this rare pamphlet has been seen in the library of Dr. Eugene 

 A. Smith, who made good use of it in writing his description of Florida for the 

 Tenth Census. It has no index or table of contents. The first 54 pages are 

 devoted to the genera! features of the state, and the remainder mostly to 

 county descriptions, which are somewhat optimistically exaggerated, as is often 

 the case. The following statement about malaria, on page 11, is of interest, and 

 probably true: '"St. Augustine has long enjoyed a total exemption from all 

 kinds of fever; Jacksonville is equally favored. In Pensacola the treatment 

 of malarial fever is not a part of the practice of the city physicians."
