Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations on the Topography, Climate, and Prevalent Diseases, of the Island of Jersey: The Result of Meteorological Observations, and General Practice, During Thirteen Years
Society, in which are happily united all the wealth and talent of the island, have contributed more than any other cause to, promote further ameliorations. If always conducted with the ability and honor that have hitherto marked its operations, that Society cannot fail to place this fertile spot, in regard to cultivation, excellence and quantity of produce, on a footing of supe riority far exceeding what might be expected from its situation and extent. By means of con tributions, due to the kindness and liberality of my friend Colonel Le Conteur, and Mr. B. Saun ders, the well informed nurseryman and gardener, I shall be enabled to lay before the reader more than is generally known, concerning the present state of the island, in respect to fertility, and the capability of its natural qualities for further de velopment. And, upon these interesting topics I may be allowed to debate the more freely, as they have a close and obvious connection with the question of climate, and Supply more fami liar illusitrations of the latter to most readers.
