As Malvern has the reputation of being a remarkably healthy spot, it would be interesting if any statistical facts, shewing the value of its claim, could be produced; but it is impossible to select any such, applicable only to the village or the locality on the hill; they are mingled with those of the whole of a large parish, nine-tenths of the area of which is in a flat, or nearly flat vale at the foot of a chain of elevations, which tend rather to deteriorate than improve the atmosphere of the level surface in their immediate vicinity.
