Publication Details
Scope and Content
The land we live in. VOL. III. London: Charles Knight, 1848-50. p. 84.Torquay is now the most fashionable resort of the kind. It has both a summer and a winter season; and the commencement of the one follows close upon the termination of the other. Hither come invalids from every part of the kingdom in search of health, or in the hope of alleviating sickness: and hither also flock the idle, the wealthy, and the luxurious, in search of pleasure, or of novelty, or in the hope of somehow getting rid of the lingering hours.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
