Quote

The mortality of those Europeans must not therefore by attributed so much to the malignity of the climate, as to their own ignorance and inattention. A foreigner who fixes his abode upon a sickly spot in England, as for example at Hilsea[*] Barracks, in the island of Portsea, must not reckon the climate of Great Britain unhealthy, because he suffers from the disadvantages of so bad a situation.

[*] Barracks well known to most of the officers in the army, for the prevalence of obstinate autumnal diseases, which frequently rage at that place, and are confined to it alone.
