To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The oppressive- ness of the atmosphere, and the enervating effects of the weather, during the dry season. Tend to debilitate the physical system, and thereby to render it more susceptible of being affected by the local agents of disease. Consequently, those persons who arrive in Liberia during this season, are more liable to frequent attacks of fever, than those are who arrive during the rainy season. In reference, however, to the acclimating pro- cess, I do not think that any great advan- tage... can be gained by arriving at any par- ticular time of the year, more than at any other time. Unnecessary exposure to the heat of the sun during the dry season, and to the rain during the wet season, should alike be avoided. Care and prudence should be exercised by new-comers at all times during the year. SKETCH No. 4. PRODUCTIONS. Nearly all the different kinds of grain, roots, and fruits, which are peculiar to intertropical climates, thrive \\ . 11 in Liberia ; and many garden vegetables which belong more properly to temperate climates, may be raised, in quality not much inf> nor to the same kind of articles, produced in climates peculiarly adapted to their growth and maturation.
