Abstract
THIS little volume must prove of practical value to a considerable class of people, that class which every year furnishes a large contingent of visitors to Italy and winter residents in Rome. Dr. Young has himself long resided in Italy, and has had ample opportunity of observing its climatal and sanitary conditions. He shows in his instructive book that Rome has got an undeservedly bad name for its climate, and the object of the volume is to show exactly what that climate is, under such heads as—the climate of Rome and its effects upon health and disease; the unhealthiness of Rome; Roman fever and malaria; water-supply of Rome; how to live in Rome class; of invalids likely to derive benefit from a residence in Rome, and so on.
Rome in Winter and the Tuscan Hills in Summer; a Contribution to the Climate of Italy.
By David Young. (London: Lewis, 1885.)
