Scope and Content
Shapter, Thomas, M.D. The climate of the south of Devon. London: John Churchill, 1842. p. 144.Torquay enjoys the advantages of a rich and cultivated neighbourhood, abounding in sheltered and accessible drives, through the most varied and beautiful scenery; and offers to the casual visitant the usual agrémens of towns of this description. During the summer months, from the warmth and closeness of the air, it is not so pleasant a residence as many upon the coast. Its chief drawback at all seasons is the smell emanating from the mud of the harbour, which is left exposed at every retiring of the tide; the effluvium from this, when a hot sun rests upon it, is often most offensive.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
