ABSTRACT
As respects the claims of Brighton for anything else – sea-bathing for instance – the author may as well say at once, and that in a very few words – it is, in this particular, not bad, but it is indifferent. The shore will not admit of any better. From the east end of Arundel-terrace, Kemp-town, to the west end of Brunswick-terrace in the King’s-road – a line of shore measuring more than two miles and a half in length, exposed to the south, south-south east, south, and south-south west – there is not as much as a palm of good clean sands to bathe upon at high water. Brighton is wholly developed and spread in a long continuous line on the crest of a high shore to east, which gently and insensibly slopes down to the west until it reaches the Steine, where it assumes and continues on a flat and level ground for nearly a mile further westwards.
