Abstract:
The importance of public parks and other open spaces in large
towns is such as scarcely to admit of debate, yet the consideration
of some of the advantages resulting from them cannot fail
to be a matter of interest. They have a great effect in improving
the atmosphere of the districts around them, by allowing of
the change of air so much needed where many human habitations
are closely packed together. Thus the beneficial influence of
the parks of London extends to multitudes even of those who
seldom use them as places for recreation and exercise.
