A paper, now expanded with supplementary material, originally presented to the Epidemiological Society reporting on the recent "invasion"  of Brazil by a yellow fever epidemic. The author was a doctor and surgeon to the Board of Customs, who had a few years earlier published a comprehensive Medical history of the Niger expedition. In 1845 he had been sent on a special mission to the  Cape de Verde Islands to inquire into the origin of the yellow fever, which had attacked the local inhabitants. His report was presented to Parliament in 1847 and confirmed his expertise on yellow fever, its history, morbid anatomy, sequences, causes and treatments.
