Notes: "Epitafio. Aqui yace el Dr. Eusebio Valli, victima de su amor a la humanidad; la Sociedad Economica de la Habana recomienda su memoria. Año de 1816": p. [1], 2nd count, states that Valli's death was due to the suffering he had witnessed, rather than from the official cause of his death which was yellow fever.

Eusebio Valli was an Italian physician, born in Lari, near Pisa, who studied epidemiology of the plague, tried to cure rabies, and bioelectricity. He went to Spain to study the effects of yellow fever and ended up in Havana where he dies of that same disease in 1816.

Also printed in volume 18 of the Memoria de la Sociedad Economica de la Habana, published by the Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País in 1844. Cf. Trelles.
