making myself intelligible to the generality of readers, without at all dimi- 

 nishui" the utility of the book to the members of my own profession. It has 

 been my wish to lay before the public such a work as might serve at once as 

 a manual to the physician in selecting a proper climate for his patient, and 

 a guide to the latter, while no longer under the direction of his medical ad- 

 viser. It is only those who have resided abroad, and have mixed much with 

 that numerous class of our countrymen who travel for health, that can know 

 how very much such a publication is wanted. I may perhaps be permitted 

 to add, at the same time, that it is only those who have attempted such a 

 work that can be aware of the diiiiculties of the task."
