DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Journal of Travels in Egypt, Arabia Petraea, and the Holy LandThe climate of Malta is warm, and the heat in the summer is said to he often oppressive. It very seldom rains there durmg the summer months, but there are heavy falls of dew. I was informed that when the South wind blows in summer, the heat is very pros trating. The atmosphere assumes a hazy appear ance, and the air sometimes has a disagreeable odor. Its effects on furniture and book-covers is, to crack and warp them. After this wind has lasted a day or two, the air becomes still and confined, producing a sensation exceedingly uncomfortable. This wind, which comes from the heated plains of Africa, is not purified from the corrupt miasma it contains by pass ing over the narrow space of water lying between this island and that continent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
