Scope and Content
Thomson, Spencer. Torquay, past and present. London: J. & A. Churchill; Torquay: Seeley, 1877. pp. 9-10.Bear in mind what we have now said as regards the position of Torquay - its southern aspect on the south-west coast of England; its background of sheltering hills, in some instances running up to the height of 45 feet; its varied outline of breezy upland and sheltered valley; the views of a noble bay, and picturesque sea-coast, from every point; foliage which not surrounding, but interweaving, seems to luxuriate almost to the water's edge - and you have already the elements of an unrivalled health resort, even were there no other advantages. How great the advantages, not only in a sanitary, but a general point of view, is sufficiently testified by the rapid progress and the prosperity which has attended our beautiful town.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
