Excerpt from Change of Climate: Considered as a Remedy in Dyspeptic, Pulmonary, and Other Chronic Affections, With an Account of the Most Eligible Places of Residence for Invalids in Spain, Portugal, Algeria, Etc, , At Different Seasons of the Year, An Appendix on the Mineral Springs of The purport of this book is sufficiently explained on the title-page. A prolonged professional engagement, as well as a subsequent residence in Italy, afforded me the opportunity, during upwards of five years, spent in different countries abroad, of studying the subject of Climate. The portions of the book which refer to foreign climates are the result of information acquired under these circumstances, and in the case of every place, of which a detailed account is given, the observations on which it is founded were made at the locality described. Much of the ground over which I travelled, possesses advantages for invalids but little known, and whilst offering facilities, in its climate, for their recovery, would impart a freshness and novelty to their wanderings. Amongst other things I have endeavoured to point out where the invalid should go as the seasons change, - what winds and quarters of towns are to be avoided, - and how most easily and pleasantly different changes of residence may be effected.
