Excerpt from Observations Upon the Topography and Climate of Crowborough Hill, Sussex The first edition of my little monograph, upon the climate of Crowborough Hill, having been several years out of print, I have been induced at the requests of many friends and correspondents to prepare a second. It has been very gratifying to be able to state, that as a result of the free distribution of the first edition, the main object I had in view, when writing it, has been so successfully accomplished. It may be said that some fifty years ago the district around Crowborough Hill was scarcely known beyond the area of its own immediate neighbourhood. A great transformation has come over the scene, during the last twenty years, as it is now rapidly becoming one of the most favoured health resorts in the South of England; nor can this be a matter for surprise when we take into consideration the remarkable purity of the air on the Hill, abounding as it does in ozone and other valuable atmospheric constituents. Another point of value is its considerable elevation above the level of the sea; moreover, its actual distance from the coast is only twenty-one miles, which renders it a most conveniently accessible resort for invalids emerging either from London or any of our coast towns.
