Excerpt from History of the Knights of Malta or the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, Vol. 1 of 2: Palestine-RhodesLatterly, however, a very different feeling has arisen, and circumstances have brought the island far more prominently before the British public. The first step in this direction was taken when Queen Adelaide was, by her physicians, ordered to pass a winter there, that she might avail herself of the mildness of its climate during that season. The example thus set in so illus trions a quarter was immediately followed, and from that time Malta has every winter become the resort of a great and continually increasing number of invalids and others attracted thither by its genial climate. From this cause a personal interest in its previous history, and in that of the Order who had raised it from a mere barren rock into its present proud position, he came created in the minds of many who would otherwise have cared little or nothing about the matter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
