Rome in Winter, and the Tuscan Hills in Summer Synopsis

Excerpt from Rome in Winter, and the Tuscan Hills in Summer: A Contribution to the Climate of Italy

NO capital and indeed no city in Europe presents greater attractions to visitors from all lands than the city of the Seven Hills, and no city is more dreaded for its supposed unhealthiness.

The former none will question, and the latter may, by a calm consideration of the facts, presented in the following pages, be found to be largely due to ignorance, and the exaggerations of travellers. One fact must ever be borne in mind in forming conclu sions as to the sanitary condition of Rome from the number of distinguished visitors who may have died there, and that is, that no continental city is visited by so many persons of distinction as Rome.
