     |phthisical, scorbutic, and inflammatory disorders. It is a great
     |resort for invalids during the summer, for whose accommodation and
     |entertainment there are a pump-room, ball-room, coffee-house,
     |taverns, and elegant lodging-houses, both below, on a level with
     |the well, and above, in the delightful village of Clifton,
     |situated on the brow of a hill, the prospect from which is
     |beautifully romantic, and from the purity of its air and its
     |situation, it has generally been termed the Montpelier of England.
     |
     |Clifton is at all times preferable to any place of residence in or
     |about Bristol; for it is not only convenient for the wells, but is
     |so happily situated with respect to Durdham Downs, that, without
     |fatigue, valetudinarians are in a few minutes conveyed to them,
     |and thereby enjoy an advantage equal, if not superior in effect,
     |to that of the waters. Indeed this the physicians themselves
     |acknowledge, and therefore the sick drive hither for health, and
     |the unailing for amusement.
     |
     |The Bristol and Matlock waters are of the same quality, their
     |mineral contents being _chalk_, _lapis calcareous_, and
     |_calaminaris_, without any impregnation of iron. In the rocks
     |above the well are found beautiful crystals; and the rivers afford
     |salmon, eels, plaice, flounders, dabs, and vast quantities of
     |elvers, and higher up trout, roach, and dace.
     |
     |In the markets of Bristol there is an astonishing plenty and
     |variety of provisions, fruit, and vegetables. The city gives the
     |title of Earl to the family of Hervey, and here the famous Thomas
     |Chatterton was born, his father being sexton of St. Mary’s
     |Redcliff.
     |
     |In 1777, an incendiary, called Jack the Painter, set fire to
     |different parts of this city, and occasioned considerable damage.
