Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating historical exploration of the town of Brighthelmston, now known as Brighton, in Sussex, England, as it existed in the early 18th century. The author, a learned physician, provides a detailed account of the town's origins, its geography, and its social and economic life, as well as a close look at the natural qualities of the air and water that made the location so appealing to those seeking health and respite. The book delves into the historical significance of the location, examining the presence of ancient Druidic altars, Roman camps, and Saxon settlements. The author draws connections between the town's topographical features and the perceived healthfulness of its air. He meticulously examines the effects of atmospheric pressure, humidity, and the presence of sea-spray on the human body, building a case for Brighthelmstonââ â¢s role as a haven for those seeking health and renewal. The author further celebrates the townââ â¢s rich fishing traditions and its importance in supplying the London market with fresh seafood, contributing to the local economy and the national food supply. This valuable work, a historical snapshot of a burgeoning seaside town, offers insights into the early fascination with the health-giving qualities of the seaside.
