The climate of the south of Devon : and its influence upon health, with short accounts of Exeter, Torquay, Babbicombe, Teignmouth ... / By Thomas Shapter, M.D.
A medical topography of south Devon by the Exeter physician Thomas Shapter, published in London in 1842 for doctors and invalids weighing coastal towns such as Torquay and Teignmouth as places to recover. The plates are letterpress statistical tables: deaths sorted into ten-year age bands by year, and monthly dew-point and thermometer means, set in small figures under ruled and rotated column heads, useful as ready-made grid structures and numeric type specimens.
