Scope and Content
Butcher Rev. Edmund. The beauties of Sidmouth displayed. Sidmouth: John Wallis, 1820. Third Edition. p. 54.The air of Sidmouth is sometimes moist, but always pure, and, with very few exceptions, mild and soft. There are no stagnant waters in its vicinity, but, as has been already remarked, a number of the purest streams constantly flowing.A striking proof of the mildness of the Sidmouth air is, that both the large and small leaved myrtles are planted out of doors, and bear the winter without any shelter; against many houses and garden walls they rise to a great height. All kinds of geraniums, phusias [sic], and other tender plants, flourish luxuriantly at this place, with very little attention.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
