Excerpt from The Climate of the South of France: As Suited to Invalids, With Notices of Mediterranean and Other Winter Stations

The object of the first edition of this book was to give a brief and impartial survey of the Climate of the South of France, and of its varieties best suited to pulmonary invalids, and the fact that a second edition is now called for, shows that such an account, when written in a spirit free from local interest or bias, has proved acceptable to a large number of readers.

My information has been derived partly from friends resident in the localities described, but chiefly from my own personal observations made during four visits to, and a prolonged sojourn in, this beautiful region.

To render the little work more complete I have enlarged its boundaries, and it now contains descriptions of the principal Mediterranean winter stations, including those of France, Italy, Spain, and North Africa.
