Health and Health Resorts
October 21, 1880 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "Health and Health Resorts," by John Wilson. Wilson's book is chiefly taken up with descriptions of the leading European watering places--Italian, Swiss, German, and French--while an early chapter on "Expatriation" is given, somewhat contradictorily, to the dispraise of foreign as contrasted with U.S. watering places. Wilson writes in apparent ignorance of climatology of the U.S. His account of foreign watering places has a certain popular value, but is marred by a diffuse and trivial style.
