Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Florida The first section of the Handbook proper is devoted to sketches of the several counties, with maps compiled from the best attainable authorities. In the context the different railroad lines crossing the counties are given, with tables of stations and distances, so that, if desired, the different routes can be followed from county to county. Take, for instance, Eoute 40, p.183, Jacksonville to Palatka. The railway passes through Duval, Clay, and Putnam Counties. Descriptions of the counties with their respective maps are alphabetically aiTanged, beginning at page 1. On page 25 are stations and distances in Duval County, on page 16 those in Clay County, and on page 82 those in Putnam County, so that the movement of the train can be followed from one map to another throughout the journey. Distances are given in both directions as indicated by arrows at the sides of the tables. The frequent establishment of new stations and the discontinuance of old ones may account for discrepancies between the maps and current time-tables. In future editions these will be corrected as rapidly as jDossible. In the other sections travelling routes are described in general and in detail, with as much accuracy as possible iinder the changing conditions of a country where, a few years ago, railroads were unknown.
