| Abstract | Undercliff," has recently attracted much attention, both with the profession and the public, on account of the remarkable equability of its climate, and its special adaptation to numerous cases of pulmonary disorder; and, as a natural consequence, it has been resorted to by many invalids as a temporary, and by as many more as a permanent residence. In 1838, the then village of Ventnor counted a population of about 350 souls, which, at the census of 1841 had advanced to nearly 900. In 1843 it was constituted a market-town by Act of Parliament; in 1847, the number of its inhabitants exceeded 2000 ; and we believe that it has undergone a considerable augmentation since that time,?other villages, also, in the same locality having increased, though in a less proportion. Dr. Martin's little work is intended to afford to those who may desire it, the opportunity of more fully acquainting themselves with the numerous points of interest which the district presents, than they might otherwise do; and to furnish an accurate account of its climate and medical topography, for the guidance of those who are seeking information as to the choice of a residence for invalids. |
