CHAZOTTE, PETER STEPHEN Facts and Observations on the culture of vines, olives, capers, almonds, &c. in the Southern States, and of coffee, cocoa, and cochineal, in East Florida.
Philadelphia: J. Maxwell, 1821. Full speckled calf by Sangorski and Sutcliffe, gilt ruled, red leather spine label. 8 x 4 3/4 inches (20 x 12 cm); 24 pp. Very light rubbing to extremities, faint toning to margins on first and last few leaves, two small chips to leaf edges.

Chazotte's rare study on the viability of certain tropical crops, such as coffee and chocolate, in Florida's climate was an inducement to the U.S. government to establish a territory there. Florida Territory was, in fact, incorporated the following year in 1822. Sabin 12355 - "The only copy we have seen has no title-page, place or date".
