Excerpt from A Description of East-Florida: With a Journal Kept by John Bartram of Philadelphia, Botanist of His Majesty for the Floridas; Upon a Journey From St. Augustine Up the River St. John's, as Far as the Lakes; With Explanatory Botanical Notes I have infenfibly run to a greater length in this introduction than I intended. In ef'rimating the'value of earl-florida, I have accounted upon what it will be when fettled, rather than upon what it now is. Its climate and productions will make it a favourite colony, and its neighbourhood to the Spanifh dominions an important one.
