Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Picturesque Handbook to Carlingford Bay, and the Watering Places in Its Vicinity: Illustrated With Upwards of One Hundred Engravings, Ornamental Letters, and Maps; Including Carlingford, Kilkeel, Ballynahinch, Newry, Newcastle, Strangford, Warrenpoint, Dundrum, Bangor, Rosstrevor, Ardglass, Downpatrick, &C Dr. Knox says: Without any desire to depreciate the Continental bathing-places, there are many reasons for giving a preference to our own, except where an aperient water like that of Pulna is considered indispensable. A small class of the community excepted, the expense alone of visiting a Continental watering-place must prove an insu perable objection, which will apply, although not quite to the same extent, to the fashionable epas of England; for, though the cost of reaching them is less, that of living is greater than abroad. Yet, as an invalid cannot be comfort able anywhere on the Continent without a carriage, which is for him almost an article of necessity, the expenditure of a family even there cannot be less than about £800 a year. To this we may add - loss of time, unaccustomed diet, nu known languages, irregularity in letters, and separation from those whose society is so necessary to the sick, and so soothing in the hour of suffering and impending dissolution.
