Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Climatic Conditions of the Summer of 1853, Most Directly Affecting Its Sanatary Character: A Report to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington
With such conditions of temperature and saturation, in a normally elastic and cool climate, it is not wonderful that the mortality from its immediate effect should have been very great. It is more remarkable that some incipient epidemic was not started in full vigor to rage after the principal induc Zing cause had passed away. With the exceptions of New Orleans, and new-york at this limited period, the heats of the summer, though extreme, have been attended with a low humidity, and have been unusually favorable in this respect.
