yet published about Florida is \
book of one hundred and seventy
five pages written by l.. II. Car

eNaggeration, not to say positive
misstatement as to conditions and
as to prospects. and there has been
displayed in one way and another
vast amount of ignorance in those
who ventured into print on matters
relating TO Florida.
