The author, a London physician, went yearly to Menton from 1859, spending the months October to June there; during April and May he travelled round the Mediterranean. His first short account was published in 1861; its success led to subsequent editions. The present is the fifth, greatly enlarged and last edition encompassing travels and observations over 15 years. The four parts describe - the north shores of the Mediterranean (inc. the French Riviera, Spain, western Italy, Corfu and parts of Greece), the large islands (Corsica, Sicily, Sardinia, Malta), the south shores (North Africa, Western Turkey) and the Italian lakes. With meticulous attention to detail the author compares the regions, in particular noting the geography, climate and flora, the architecture, history and local custom as well as incidents or people of interest. Throughout, Bennet first assesses the local flora, gardens and horticulture providing invaluable documentation - naming nurserymen, giving short historical details of gardens, plant lists and state of cultivation.
