Scope and Content
Shapter, Thomas, M.D. The climate of the south of Devon. London: John Churchill, 1842. p. 139.The village of Ide is situated in a valley at the foot of a steep hill, about a mile and a half to the west of the city, and very much sheltered from the winds in general. Its climate must be rather warmer and more relaxing than that of Exeter. Each of these places afford convenient accommodation for the invalid, and together with Exeter, are, in the winter and spring seasons, very suitable to persons suffering from an irritable state of the lungs, and chronic bronchitic affections generally, as well as to those of a consumptive tendency. They are, in fact, generally beneficial in those cases for which the climate proper to the district is applicable.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
