‘ The choice of a healthy situation is of the first importance: it should be on high ground, neither subject to fogs nor rains: its aspects should be neither violently hot nor intensely cold, but temperate in both respects. The neighbourhood of marshy place must be avoided.’—(*Ibid.*, Book I, Chap. IV.)
