Sinopsis
Excerpt from Winter and Spring on the Shores of the Mediterranean: Or the Riviera, Mentone, Italy, Corsica, Sicily, Algeria, Spain, and Biarritz as Winter Climates
Five-and-twenty years devoted to a laborious profession, and the harassing cares which pursue a hard-worked London physician, broke down vital powers. In 1859 I became consumptive, and strove in vain to arrest the pro gress of disease. At last, resigning all professional duties, I wrapped my robes around me, and departed southwards in the autumn of the year 1859, to die in a quiet corner, as I and my friends thought.
It was not, however, to be so. The reminiscences of former travel took me to Mentone, on the Genoese Riviera and under its genial sky, freed from the labours and anxieties of former life, to my very great surprise, I soon began to rally.

Excerpt from Winter and Spring on the Shores of the Mediterranean: Or the Riviera, Mentone, Italy, Corsica, Sicily, Algeria, Spain, and Biarritz as Winter Climates
The present work embodies the experience of ten winters and springs passed on the shores of the Mediterranean, from October, 1859, to May, 1869, under the following circumstances: -
Five-and-twenty years devoted to a laborious profession, and the harassing cares which pursue a hard-worked London physician, broke down vital powers. In 1859 I became consumptive, and strove in vain to arrest the progress of disease. At last, resigning all professional duties, I wrapped my robes around me, and departed southwards in the autumn of the year 1859, to die in a quiet comer, as I and my Mends thought.
It was not, however, to be so. The reminiscences of former travel took me to Mentone, on the Genoese Riviera, and under its genial sky, freed from the labours and anxieties of former life, to my very great surprise I soon began to rally.
The second winter I wished to find a locality even more favoured, one more in the stream of life, present or past, and sought for it in Italy. The search, however, was vain, and the unhygienic state of the large towns of that classical land partly undid the good previously gained.
