PREFACE. 


The  Buxton  mineral  water  is  discharged  from  several  openings  in  very 
large  quantities,  at  the  temperature  of  82  degrees,  Farenheit.  It  is  charged 
with  nitrogen  gas  in,  probably,  a  larger  degree  than  any  other  mineral 
water ;  being  estimated  by  Dr.  Lyon  Playfair  to  contain  at  the  moment  of 
issue  no  less  than  206  cubic  inches  of  nitrogen  gas  per  gallon ;  and  by  Dr. 
Sheridan  Muspratt,  the  most  recent  analyst,  to  contain  no  less  than  504 
cubic  inches  per  gallon.  This  gas  is  presented  in  water,  which  has,  other- 
wise, alkaline,  earthy,  and  saline  properties ;  and  is  remarkably  detergent 
and  softening  to  the  skin  when  used  as  a  bath ;  while  it  is  free  from  odour 
or  disagreeable  taste,  is  clear  and  bright  in  its  appearance,  and  of  a  singu- 
larly beautiful  faintly  blue  colour. 

The  medicinal  action  of  the  water,  whether  used  as  baths,  or  drank,  has 
been  from  time  immemorial  known  to  be  great  in  relieving  or  curing  all 
conditions  of  a  rheumatic  or  gouty  character.  It  is  stated  by  Dr.  Jones,  so- 
long  ago  as  in  the  year  1572,  that  it  was  then  used  for  the  relief  of  the  same 
ailments  as  it  is  at  the  present  time. 

Dr.  Jones  says  that,  in  his  time,  Buxton  was  much  resorted  to  by  poor 
afflicted  persons ;  and  towards  the  end  of  the  sixteenth  century  this  was 
considered  to  be  so  serious  an  injury  by  the  inhabitants  of  the  adjoining 
chapelry  of  Fairfield,  as  to  render  them  unable  to  provide  funds  for  the 
maintenance  of  their  chaplain,  by  reason  of  the  urgent  and  continued 
claims  of  the  many  poor  sufferers  resorting  to  the  Buxton  Baths,  as  set 
forth  in  a  petition  on  this  matter  addressed  by  them  to  Queen  Elizabeth. 
These  poor  persons  had  been  from  time  immemorial  so  far  aided,  as  to  have 
had  gratuitous  baths  of  the  mineral  water  provided  for  them;  and  there 
seems  to  have  been  a  fund  called  the  "  Treasury  of  the  bath,"  by  which 
their  pecuniary  necessities  were  more  or  less  ministered  to.  Dr.  Jones 
writes,  in  reference  to  this  fund,  what  may  be  quoted  in  this  place:  "If 
any  think  this  magisterial  imposing  on  people's  pockets,  let  them  consider 
their  abilities  and  the  sick  poor's  necessities,  and  think  whether  they  do  not 
in  idle  pastimes  throw  away  in  vain  twice  as  much  yearly ;  it  may  entail 
the  blessings  of  them  who  are  ready  to  perish  upon  you,  and  wiU  afford  a 
pleasant  after-reflection.  God  has  given  you  physic  for  nothing ;  let  the 
poor  and  afflicted  (it  may  be  members  of  Christ)  have  a  Uttle  of  your 
money, — it  may  be  the  better  for  yom-  own  health :  Heaven  might  have 
put  them  in  your  room  and  you  in  theirs  ;  then  a  supply  would  have  been 
acceptable  to  you."

Beyond  this  somewhat  vague  earlier  history,  there  is  no  record  of  the 
Buxton  Bath  Charity  until  the  year  1785,  of  which  date  there  is  extant  at 
the  Hospital,  a  document  (vide  page  17),  apparently  an  annual  report  of 
the  Institution ;  from  which  time  the  use  of  the  baths  and  waters  and 
pecuniary  aid  had  been  regularly  given  to  the  poor  patients  until  the  year 
1859,  when  the  Devonshire  Hospital  was  provided  for  the  reception  of  the 
patients. 

It  has  been  gathered  from  the  annual  reports  that  in  the  eighteen  years 
from  1820,  14,906  patients  were  admitted  to  the  benefits  of  the  Charity,  of 
which  number  12,608  were  discharged  as  cured  or  much  relieved. 

In  the  twenty  following  years,  from  1838  to  1858,  23,319  patients  were 
admitted;  and  of  these,  16,575  were  cured  or  much  relieved;  5,859  were 
relieved  in  some  degree ;  and  885  were  no  better  at  the  time  of  discharge. 

The  Devonshire  Hospital  was  opened  for  the  reception  of  the  patients  of 
the  Charity  in  the  year  1859.  It  is  the  successful  result  of  the  conversion 
of  a  very  extensive  range  of  building,  erected  and  used  as  stables  since 
the  commencement  of  the  present  century.  The  structure,  which  is  of 
important  and  substantial  character,  sarrounds  a  parterre  of  considerable 
extent,  and  contains  a  colonnade  of  handsome  proportions,  is  situated  on  a 
commanding  eminence,  presenting  views  of  the  town  and  valley  of 
Buxton,  and  is  near  to  the  baths,  the  railway  stations,  and  the  principal 
buildings. 

From  the  year  1820,  then,  to  the  beginning  of  September,  1858,  when  the 
Hospital  was  opened,  or  in  38  years,  the  Institution  had  received  38,225 
patients  ;  of  which  number,  35,042  were  beneficially  treated,  and  2,183 
were  very  partially  if  at  all  relieved.  During  those  38  years  the  Buxton 
Bath  Charity  received,  on  an  average,  upwards  of  1,000  patients  every 
year,  and  afforded  cure  or  marked  relief  to  922  of  that  number.  To  a  very 
large  proportion  of  this  important  number  of  poor  sufferers,  chiefly  from 
chronic  rheumatism,  the  charity  gave  a  weekly  allowance  of  6s.  during 
their  stay  in  Buxton,  in  addition  to  all  other  benefits ;  until  the  funds 
became  so  seriously  impaired  that  the  weekly  money  allowance  was  neces- 
sarily reduced  to  5s.,  at  which  sum  it  remained  until  the  opening  of  the 
Hospital.  From  the  time  of  reducing  the  weekly  money  allowance,  the 
pecuniary  prosperity  of  the  Buxton  Bath  Charity  may  be  dated.  The  funds 
accumulated  year  by  year,  until  the  time  of  rebuilding  the  Buxton  baths 
on  the  part  of  the  Duke  of  Devonshire,  when  a  capital  of  nearly  £3,000 
had  been  gathered  together  by  the  scrupulous  management  of  the  Trustees; 
The  names  may  be  mentioned,  first  and  particularly,  of  the  late  Bishop 
Spencer,  at  one  time  trustee,  and  incumbent  of  Buxton,  and  more  recently 
one  of  the  Vice-Presidents  of  the  Hospital;  of  Mr.  Heacock  and  Mr. 
Smithers,  its  successive  Treasurers ;  and  of  Sir  Charles  Scudamore,  Mr. 
Page,  Mr.  Cumming,  and  Dr.  Carstairs,— as  being  no  longer  alive  to  witness 
iand  take  part  in  the  present  development  of  the  Charity ;  and  also  in  order 
of  seniority  as  to  connection  with  the  Institution,  of  Dr.  Eobertson,  the  Hon. 
and  Rev.  F.  E.  Grey,  and  the  Eev.  E.  P.  Hull  Brown,  as  still  living  to 
rejoice  in  the  well-doing  of  the  Buxton  Charity  and  its  Hospital.  Of 
these  £3,000,  £500  was  judiciously  expended  on  the  rebuilding  of  the

PREFACE 


Charity  Natural  Baths ;  the  large  remaining  sum  which  those  baths  cost, 
and  the  whole  cost  of  the  Hot  Baths  of  the  Charity,  having  been  paid  by 
the  munificence  of  the  late  Duke  of  Devonshire.  Again,  in  1853 — i,  when 
the  proposal  of  an  hospital  to  receive  the  patients  of  the  Institution  waa 
brought  before  the  pubUc  by  Mr.  Smithers  and  the  other  Trustees,  the  sum 
of  £1,000  from  the  accumulated  fund  was  given  towards  the  Hospital; 
leaving  a  residue  of  £1,500  consols,  which  sum  remains  thus  invested. 
(See  Estate  Account.) 

The  history  and  doings  of  the  Buxton  Bath  Charity  have  thus  been  sum- 
marily brought  down  to  the  time  of  forming  the  Hospital,  the  expenses  of 
which  were  defrayed  by  the  individual  and  collective  liberality  of  the 
Trustees ;  by  special  subscriptions  from  the  public ;  by  the  proceeds  of  a 
bazaar,  that  was  bountifully  supplied  and  supported,  &c. ;— a  total  sum  of 
£6,000  having  been  thus  got  together,  and  expended  on  the  conversion  of 
this  valuable  building  to  hospital  purposes.  This  conversion  with  its 
anxious  details  and  successful  results,  was  mainly  due  to  the  untiring 
exertions  of  the  late  Mr.  Wilmot,  aided  by  the  architectural  skill  of  Mr.  H. 
Currey,  and  the  liberal  consideration  of  the  late  Duke  of  Devonshire. 

It  forms  an  interesting  episode  in  this  history,  that,  in  the  winter  of 
1862 — 3,  during  what  will  be  long  remembered  as  the  Cotton  Famine,  a 
special  fund  was  obtained,  chiefly  by  the  exertions  of  the  late  Mr.  Wilmot ; 
and  100  young  women,  under  30  years  of  age,  selected  by  the  Belief  Com- 
mittees of  their  respective  towns,  as  being  most  likely  to  be  benefitted  by 
the  change  of  air  and  the  comforts  of  the  Hospital,  were  received,  and 
taken  care  of,  as  to  food,  and  as  to  medicines,  and  restored  to  their  homes 
in  the  subsequent  spring,  with  renovated  health  and  strength,  and  full  of 
gratitude  for  what  they  had  received.  The  balance  of  the  subscriptions, 
amounting  with  interest  to  £256,  was  invested  as  a  separate  fund  for  ever, 
to  enable  poor  female  operatives  from  factory  towns  to  be  received  into 
the  Hospital. 

A  very  important  circumstance  in  the  history  of  the  Hospital  is  that  the 
grounds  in  front  of  it  have  been,  with  much  kind  consideration,  made  over 
to  the  Institution,  on  the  part  of  the  Duke  of  Devonshire,  maintaining  the 
detached  position  of  the  buUding,  enhancing  its  appearance,  and  adding  to 
the  out-door  advantages  of  the  patients. 

The  building  is  the  property  of  his  Grace  the  Duke  of  Devonshire ;  and 
the  conversion  of  it  to  the  use  of  the  Hospital  for  ever,  on  the  payment  of 
the  rent  of  £5  yearly,  was  benevolently  granted  by  the  late  Duke  of  Devon- 
shire, as  testified  on  the  stone  over  the  principal  entrance,  on  which  is 
inscribed :  "  The  last  munificent  Charity  of  William  Spencer,  6th  Duke  of 
Devonshire,  E.G.,  who  allowed  these  buildings  to  be  converted  to  the  use  of 
the  sick  poor,  January,  a.d.  1858."  A  considerable  sum  of  money  that  had 
been  collected  for  the  construction  of  the  Hospital  was  expended  upon  the 
work.  The  walls  and  roof  of  the  structure  were  fortunately  found  to  be 
in  good  preservation ;  the  interior  was  entirely  removed  and  re-arranged ; 
the  sub-soil  carefully  taken  away;  and  about  two-thirds  of  the  building 
occupied  for  the  purposes  of  the  Hospital,  by  a  chaplain's  house,  a  dis-

pensary  and  dispenser's  apartments,  a  house  for  the  master  and  matron, 
kitchen,  day-rooms,  dining-hall,  and  spacious  dormitories  affording  separate 
beds  for  120  patients,  in  addition  to  the  beds  provided  for  cases  of  accident, 
and  in  addition  to  the  rooms  required  for  the  servants  of  the  establishment. 

During  the  year  1868,  a  legal  Conveyance  of  the  buildings  and  grounds 
of  the  Hospital  was  given  to  the  Trustees  by  the  present  Duke  of  Devon- 
ehire,  at  the  nominal  rent  of  five  shilhngs  yearly,  on  the  condition  that  they 
shall  be  used  exclusively  for  the  purposes  of  the  Charity. 

During  the  year  1872,  the  duties  of  Chaplain  to  the  Hospital  were  kindly 
undertaken  by  the  Vicar  of  Buxton,  and  the  Chaplain's  House  was  converted 
to  the  general  purposes  of  the  Hospital ;  the  number  of  beds  for  patients  was 
raised  to  150 ;  and  better  accommodation  afforded  to  the  Out-Patients, 
Dispensary,  &c. 

During  the  fifteen  years  since  the  Hospital  was  opened,  there  have  been 
17,601  patients  under  treatment,  of  which  number  15,307  have  been  treated 
beneficially ;  and  2,056,  or  about  one-eighth  of  the  whole,  were  not  suffering 
from  any  of  the  forms  of  rheumatism,  but  were  such  cases  as  are  ordinarily 
met  with  in  hospitals.  On  the  average  of  the  fifteen  years,  the  patients 
remained  imder  treatment  24-32  days ;  and  15,542  cases  of  rheumatism, 
embracing  every  conceivable  variety  of  this  obstinate  disease,  were  thus 
extensively  relieved  by  the  remedial  agency  of  the  Buxton  mineral  waters. 

This  prefatory  account  has  seemed  to  be  needful  for  the  information  of 
those  not  already  acquainted  with  the  nature  and  merits  of  this  Institution.

REPOET 

OF  THE 

COMMITTEE  OF  MANAGEMENT 

FOE  THE  YEAE  1873. 


The  members  of  the  Committee  of  Management  report  the  gi-eat  and 
increasing  usefulness  of  the  Hospital,  year  after  year  ;  and  they  do  this  with 
much  thankfulness.  The  Hospital  has  been  added  to  the  means  of  use- 
fulness of  the  Buxton  Bath  Charity  during  fifteen  years,  affording  board, 
lodging,  &c.,  to  a  much  larger  number  of  in-patients  than  the  total 
number  of  the  patients  of  the  older  institution,  with  which  it  was  incor- 
porated in  the  year  1859. 

The  number  of  in-patients  admitted  to  the  Hospital  has  been  more  than 
doubled  since  the  first  and  second  years  of  its  existence  ;  and  the  number  of 
in-patients  received  is  greater  year  after  year.  The  season  of  the  year, 
and  the  kind  of  weather  which  may  prevail,  always  inflaence  the  pressure 
of  patients  to  be  admitted  to  the  Hospital.  The  effect  of  the  wet  weather 
during  the  last  two  years  has  been  to  reduce  the  number  of  the  patients 
below  what  might  have  been  otherwise  received ;  and  this  seems  to  have 
been  particularly  the  case  during  the  earlier  months  of  1873,  and  to  have 
reduced  the  probable  increase  that  would  otherwise  have  been  obtained 
from  the  recent  increase  in  the  number  of  the  beds.  This  will  explain  the 
circumstance  that  the  increase  upon  the  year  preceding  has  been  only  four 
patients.  During  the  past  year  the  total  number  of  in-patients  has  been 
1,407  ;  but  this  number,  although  so  small  an  increase  on  the  1,403  patients 
of  1872,  is  89  more  than  in  1871,  and  134  more  than  in  1870,  and  237  more 
than  in  1869,  and  261  more  than  in  1868,  and  so  on,  until  we  arrive  at  the 
vast  difference  of  number  between  622  in  1859,  or  691  in  1860,  and  the 
1,407  in  1873. 

The  beneficial  result  obtained  by  this  increasingly  large  number  of  in- 
patients has  been  of  adequate  proportion  to  these  larger  and  larger 
numbers.  Of  the  1,407  in-patients,  1,149  were  treated  beneficiaUy ;  189  were 
no  better ;  22  were  discharged  by  their  own  request ;  13  had  to  be  discharged 
for  breach  of  rules ;  one  was  found  to  be  an  unfit  case  for  the  Hospital ;  3 
died  ;  and  80  remained  on  the  books  at  the  end  of  the  year. 

The  number  of  out-patients  admitted  during  the  year  was  179,  or  one  less 
than  in  the  preceding  year.  The  comparatively  small  number  of  the  out- 
patients is  the  best  possible  evidence  of  the  high  estimation  in  which  the 
internal  conifort  and  appliances  of  the  Hospital  are  held  by  the  patients 
and  the  subscribers.  It  is  remembered,  that  there  was  a  general  sense  of 
anxiety,  lest  patients  should  prefer  the  freedom  from  all  control,  and  the 
comparative  privacy  of  being  lodged  in  the  town  and  neighbourhood  of 
Buxton,  and  lest  only  the  more  necessitous,  or  the  more  helpless,  might 
be  ready  or  willing  to  avail  themselves  of  any  possible  advantages  which 
could  be  .offered,  to. them  within  the  walls  of  the  Hospital,  then  about  to  be 
provided.     The  contrary  holds  good.     The  patients,  with  scarcely  an

exception,  are  most  anxious  to  enjoy  the  great  and  obvious  advantages  of 
residence  witMn  the  Hospital ;  and  the  out-patients  consist  chiefly  of  those 
who  cannot  obtain  the  privilege  of  an  in-patient's  recommendation. 
Nevertheless,  the  number  of  the  out-patients  is  of  much  importance,  sup- 
plementing and  extending  the  work  of  the  Hospital,  and  affording  results 
which  are  entirely  satisfactory.  Of  the  179  out-patients  received  during 
the  year,  147  were  treated  beneficially ;  13  were  no  better  at  the  time  of 
discharge ;  18  left  Buxton  without  having  been  discharged,  and  the  results 
of  their  treatment  cannot  therefore  be  reported ;  and  one  remained  on 
the  books  at  the  end  qf  the  year.  It  is  probable,  as  has  been  said  again 
and  again  in  these  reports,  that  of  the  18  out-patients  who  were  not 
sufficiently  impressed  with  the  sense  of  the  duty  of  presenting  themselves 
before  leaving  Buxton,  a  considerable  proportion  had  derived  benefit.  The 
Subscribers  who  send  the  out-patients  to  the  Hospital  should  endeavour, 
as  far  as  may  be,  to  impress  on  the  minds  of  these  poor  persons,  before  they 
are  sent  to  Buxton,  and  make  enquiries  of  them  after  they  return  home, 
as  to  the  fulfilment  of  this  easy  duty,  the  neglect  of  which  necessarily 
occasions  some  sense  of  dissatisfaction,  renders  the  returns  so  far  incom- 
plete, and  cannot  but  be  a  matter  of  some  regret  to  all  concerned. 

The  average  number  of  patients  daily  resident  in  the  Hospital  throughout 
the  year  has  been  89  and  five  decimals,  or  one  more  patient  daily  in 
the  House ;  and  the  average  number  of  days  of  every  in-patient  in  the 
Hospital  has  been  23  and  thirty-six  decimals,  or  an  increase  of  more  than 
one  day  on  the  previous  year. 

The  average  cost  of  every  in-patient  for  three  weeks  has  been  £1  17s.  9Ad., 
being  a  shght  reduction  from  the  previous  year ;  and  the  average  cost  per 
head  per  day  has  been  Is.  9id.,  also  a  slight  reduction  from  the  previous  year. 
It  cannot  need  explanation  that  these  yearly  differences,  whether  less  or  more, 
are  owing  to  the  varying  prices  of  articles  of  food  and  of  coals  ;  and  they 
will  be  admitted  to  give  proof  of  good  management,  when  the  compara- 
tively unrestricted  dietary  is  considered,  as  well  as  the  prices  of  provisions, 
<S?c. 

The  greater  number  of  patients,  and  consequently  greater  amount  of  bene- 
fit afforded  year  by  year,  is  so  far  evidence  that  the  subscribers  are  more 
or  less  alive  to  the  duty  of  sending  as  many  patients  as  possible  to  the 
Hospital  during  the  winter  months.  But  even  in  the  past  year  the 
average  number  of  patients  in  the  Hospital  during  the  month  of  January  was 
only  23  and  eight  decimals,  and  during  February  only  31  and  five  decimals, 
and  during  March  only  34,  and  during  April  only  67  and  one  decimal, — shew- 
ing that  so  much  more  of  Hospital  work  might  be  done  in  this  direction. 
It  is  sufficiently  well  known  on  the  other  hand,  that  during  the  middle  of 
the  summer  some  200  patients  may  be  waiting  at  one  time  for  their  turn 
to  be  admitted,  and  that  sometimes  a  patient  has  had  to  wait  four  or 
five  weeks  before  a  vacant  bed  could  be  obtained.  The  Hospital,  in  fact, 
cannot  be  said  to  have  been  filled  during  more  than  six  months  of  the  year. 
The  House  is  so  well  built,  warmed,  and  ventilated,  and  affords  such 
conveniences  and  comforts,  and  enjoys  from  its  locality  such  high  and 
evident  sanitary  advantages,  while  the  Baths  and  Waters  of  Buxton  are 
known  to  be  quite  as  curative  during  the  winter  months  as  at  any  other 
time,  that  the  subscribers  might  regulate  their  recommendations  in  such  a 
way  that  all  the  beds  should  be  constantly  occupied,  and  its  value  utihsed 
to  the  fullest  degree. 

The  great  pressure  upon  the  Hospital  during  six  months  of  the  year  is 
nevertheless  regarded  with  much  regret ;  and  the  more  so  as  about  one- 
third  of  the  great  building  of  the  Hospital  is  otherwise  occupied.  It  will  be 
remembered  that  the  Committee  of  Management  have  been  urged  from  time 
to  time  to  solicit  the  concession  of  the  remainder  of  the  building  for  the  pur-

poses  of  tliG  Hospital ;  and  were  able  to  state  in  the  previous  reports  that 
the  noble  owner  of  the  property  and  his  professional  advisers  were  disposed 
to  give  the  subject  their  favourable  consideration,  when  certain  engineering 
difficulties  as  to  the  supply  of  the  mineral  water  to  the  Hot  Baths  shaU 
have  been  surmounted.  The  conversion  of  the  remainder  of  this  great 
building  to  the  uses  of  the  Hospital  would  involve  the  expenditure  of  a 
very  large  sum  of  money ;  but  it  is  felt  by  the  Committee  that  such  an 
extension  would  be  not  only  to  fulfil  the  primary  Christian  duty  of  grant- 
ing to  the  suffering  poor  the  utmost  opportunity  of  using  the  healing 
waters  of  Buxton,  but  would  indirectly  benefit  all  the  vested  interests  of 
Buxton,  by  increasing  value  of  its  land,  houses,  &c.,  in  direct  proportion  to 
its  increasing  celebrity.  Such  an  extension  would  not  only  enable  a  larger 
number  of  patients  to  be  received,  but  would  entirely  isolate  all  the  buildings 
of  the  institution,  surround  it  with  open  and  ornamental  grounds,  and  em- 
bellish the  whole  appearance  and  location  of  the  Hospital.  This  is  felt  by 
the  Committee  to  be  peculiarly  a  case  in  which  the  interests  of  the  Hospital 
and  of  the  visitors  and  residents  of  Buxton  go  hand  in  hand,  and  they  trust 
that  so  great  an  improvement  may  be  carried  out  as  soon  as  it  may  be 
found  practicable  to  do  so. 

The  cost  of  the  patients'  diet,  &c.,  always  requires  the  explanation  in  these 
reports,  that  it  is  owing  to  an  unrestricted  allowance  of  animal  food  of  the 
best  quality  at  dinner  every  day ;  and  the  average  consumption  of  meat 
per  head,  per  day,  is  accordingly  nearly  three-quarters  of  a  pound.  The 
consumption  of  bread  and  potatoes,  entirely  unrestricted,  is  also  very  large  ; 
and  all  the  patients  not  forbidden  by  the  medical  attendant  have  beer  at 
dinner.  The  large  amount  of  benefit  afforded  must  be  partly  referred  to  the 
aid  thus  given  to  the  medicinal  effect  of  the  air  of  the  mountain  limestone, 
and  to  the  restorative  and  curative  power  of  the  Buxton  mineral  water. 
It  is  a  necessary  statement  in  these  reports,  that  the  majority  of  the 
patients  are  not  only  relieved  from  rheumatism,  and  the  wearing  and 
disabling  consequences  of  the  disease,  but  are  sent  back  to  their  several 
homes  and  occupations,  in  a  condition  as  to  health  and  strength,  much 
better  fitted  to  perform  their  labours,  and  earn  the  means  of  subsistence 
for  themselves  and  their  families. 

The  financial  position  of  the  Hospital  at  the  end  of  the  year  affords  much 
reason  for  thankfulness,  and  may  be  held  to  shew,  in  some  degree,  the 
amount  of  assistance  to  be  expected  from  the  public,  whenever  the  full  exten- 
sion of  the  Hospital  may  be  conceded.  There  has  been  a  receipt  from 
Annual  Subscriptions,  amounting  to  £100  9s.  Od.  more  than  in  1872 ;  and 
the  Donations  received  at  the  Hospital  have  been  £126  16s.  lOd.  more  than 
in  the  preceding  year ;  and  the  Donations  received  by  the  kind  agency  of  the 
Hotels  and  Lodging-houses  of  Buxton  have  amounted  to  £42  ISs.  Od. 
more  than  in  1872. 

The  sum  of  £3404  3s.  3d.  has  been  received  from  Legacies  dm-ing  the 
year.  Of  this  sum  the  large  amount  of  £3384  3s.  4d.  has  been  derived 
from  the  total  residue  of  the  personal  estate  of  Mrs.  Kobinson,  of  Elterwater 
Hall,  near  Ambleside,  which  was  most  munificently  devised  to  the  Hospital 
by  this  lady,  who  had  been  a  kind  benefactress  during  many  previous  years  ; 
and  the  remaining  sum  of  £19  19s.  Od.  is  the  amount  of  a  legacy  from 
the  Eev.  Charles  Ingleby,  also  a  subscriber  and  benefactor  previously.  It 
has  often  been  mentioned  in  these  reports  as  matter  of  surprise,  that  so  many 
friends  and  supporters  of  the  Hospital  should  have  left  no  record  beyond 
the  grave,  of  the  interest  taken  in  its  prosperity  during  their  lives.  Invested 
capital  must  be  the  only  security  for  the  future  usefulness  of  such  an 
institution :  empowering  extensions,  justifying  improvements,  and  enabl- 
ing prompt  payments  to  be  made,  and  the  best  sources  of  supply  to  be  had 
recourse  to.     The  advantages  of  pecuniary  competence  are  so  obvious,  that

it  might  seem  to  be  superfluous  to  have  stated  them,  were  it  not  that  the 
opposite  opinion  is  expressed  from  time  to  time,  as  a  plea  for  relaxation  as 
to  rules  and  conditions  of  management. 

There  is  a  Hability  under  the  power  of  recommendation  possessed  by  the 
Life  Subscribers,  which  varies  somewhat  from  year  to  year,  but  which  must 
be  the  multiple  of  existing  life  subscribers  by  the  cost  of  every  patient,  or 
£1  17s.  9id.  multiplied  by  more  than  300.  There  is  also  a  Hability  to  the 
Annual  Subscribers  of  16s.  9id.  beyond  the  guinea  subscribed,  which  repre- 
sents a  very  large  yearly  sum,  if  the  powers  of  recommendation  were  to  be 
always  made  use  of.  These  two  great  and  constant  liabilities  are  only 
mentioned  to  demonstrate  the  importance,  and  indeed  necessity,  of  a  large 
capital  sum  of  invested  money,  to  insure  the  solvency  of  the  institution. 

The  total  sum  obtained  from  Churches  during  the  year  has  been  rather 
more  than  it  was  in  1872.  It  should  be  gratefully  mentioned  that  this  is 
principally  due  to  large  offertories  obtained  in  St.  John's  and  St.  James* 
Churches,  in  Buxton,  on  two  Sundays.  It  is,  however,  a  subject  of  regret 
that  collections  have  been  obtained  from  fewer  churches  either  near  to  Bux- 
ton or  at  a  distance  from  it  ;  and  that  no  collection  has  been  obtained 
from  any  Chapel  either  in  Buxton  or  its  neighbourhood,  or  elsewhere.  It 
is  regretfully  felt  that  much  more  might  be  expected  to  be  received  from 
churches  and  chapels,  and  especially  from  those  which  are  situated  in  the 
great  manufacturing  centres  of  population,  obtaining,  as  these  towns  and 
districts  do,  such  a  very  large  proportion  of  benefit  from  the  operations  of 
this  Charity.  Patients  have  been  received  from  some  130  different  towns 
and  districts  during  the  past  year,  and  only  six  collections  have  been  re- 
ceived from  outlying  churches.  It  would  be  a  great  boon  to  the  Hospital,  if 
ail  the  Churches  and  Chapels  in  Buxton  and  its  neighbourhood  would  kindly 
grant  two  Sundays  for  collections  in  its  behalf,  during  the  busier  parts  of  the 
Summer  and  Autumn — say,  in  August  and  September. 

It  will  be  remembered  that,  according  to  the  last  report,  the  increasing 
work  of  the  Hospital,  and  the  increasing  labours  of  the  honorary  Medical 
Staff,  were  found  to  necessitate  the  appointment  of  a  resident  medical 
officer,  who  would  see  the  patients  at  the  time  of  admission,  prescribe  any 
treatment  immediately  necessary,  act  in  all  emergencies  in  the  absence  of  the 
medical  officers,  keep  the  case  laooks,  prepare  a  tabulated  account  of  the 
cases,  and  assist  in  such  chemical  and  microscopical  investigations  as  would 
facilitate  the  medical  work  of  the  Hospital.  This  appointment  was  made 
accordingly  in  the  beginning  of  August,  1872.  Circumstances  arose  in 
the  commencement  of  1873  to  occasion  the  resignation  of  the  House  Sur- 
geon ;  and  it  was  signified  about  the  same  time,  that  Mr.  Sykes,  the 
Dispenser,  was  about  to  resign  his  appointment  in  the  Hospital.  He  had 
occupied  the  position  of  Dispenser  during  seven  years,  and  had  given 
entire  satisfaction  to  the  Committee  of  Management ;  and  he  received  from 
the  Committee  a  testimonial  to  that  effect.  The  Committee  then  decided 
to  appoint  a  qualified  medical  man  who  would  endeavour  to  perform  the 
combined  duties  of  House  Surgeon  and  Dispenser;  and  Dr.  Lorimer  ac- 
cepted the  appointment  on  this  condition.  The  result  is  believed  to  be 
satisi'actory.  The  Dispensary  continues  to  be  economically  managed  ;  and 
the  total  cost  of  these  medical  services,  and  of  the  prompt  dispensing  of 
the  medicines,  including  the  salary  and  board  of  the  resident  medical  officer, 
is  found  to  amount  to  less  than  half -a- crown  per  patient. 

Mr.  Sykes  had  acted  as  honorary  meteorologist  to  the  Hospital  during  five 
years  of  his  residence  in  the  Hospital ;  and  he  continues  to  perform  these 
duties  without  payment. 

The  duties  of  Chaplain  to  the  Hospital,  kindly  undertaken  by  the  Eev. 
S.  R.  Eddy,  M.A.,  Vicar  of  Buxton,  an  ex-officlo  trustee,  and  member 
the  Committee  of  Management,  have  been  efficiently  discharged  by  the

EEPOKT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  OF  MANAGEMENT. 


Eev.  A.  E.  Tomlinson,  M.A.,  the  locum  tenens  of  the  Vicar  during  his 
absence  from  Buxton  from  indisposition,  kindly  assisted  by  the  Curates 
of  Buxton.  The  Committee  have  learned,  with  much  satisfaction,  that 
the  Rev.  S.  E.  Eddy  may  be  expected  to  return  to  Buxton  in  the  course 
of  the  spring,  with  restored  health  and  strength. 

Dr.  Eobertson  has  again  been  unanimously  re-elected  Chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  and  the  Managing  Committee  of  the  Hospital. 

Mr.  Samuel  Turner  has  again  been  unanimously  re-elected  Treasurer  of 
the  Hospital. 

The  chairman  is  ex-officio  a  member  of  the  House  Committee,  and  the 
members  of  the  House  Committee  for  1873,  have  been  re-elected. 

Mr.  Josiah  Taylor  and  Mr.  Schofield  have  been  again  unanimously  re- 
elected auditors  for  the  year. 

The  thanks  of  the  Committee  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  Clergymen  who 
have  allowed  sermons  to  be  preached  in  their  churches  on  behalf  of  the  Hos- 
pital, and  also  to  the  Clergymen  who  have  preached  the  sermons. 

The  thanks  of  the  Committee  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  proprietors  of 
the  Hotels  and  Lodging-Houses  of  Buxton,  and  also  to  the  Presidents  at  the 
public  dinner  tables  of  the  several  hotels  who  have  exerted  themselves  to 
obtain  support  for  the  Hospital.  The  powers  of  the  institution  depend 
much  on  these  exertions.  The  interests  of  Buxton  are  so  greatly  promoted 
by  the  prosperity  and  usefulness  of  the  Hospital,  that  the  claims  of  the 
institution  are  urged  on  the  inhabitants  as  being  identical  with  the  interests 
of  the  town. 

The  thanks  of  the  Committee  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  Chairman  and 
Directors  of  the  Buxton  Palace  Hotel  Company,  for  permission  to  place  con- 
spicuously in  the  Entrance  Hall  of  the  Hotel  a  Donation  Box  in  aid  of  the 
Hospital. 

The  thanks  of  the  Committee  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  Chairman  and 
Directors  of  the  Buxton  Improvements  Company,  for  permission  to  place 
conspicuously  at  the  entrance  to  the  Pavilion  a  Donation  and  Newspaper  box 
in  aid  of  the  Hospital. 

The  thanks  of  the  Committee  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  proprietors  of 
the  newspapers  in  which  the  weekly  reports  and  meteorological  reports 
from  the  Hospital  are  inserted.  In  no  way  can  the  interests  of  the  charity 
be  more  effectually  promoted. 

The  thanks  of  the  Committee  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  ladies  and 
gentlemen  who  have  acted  as  Visitors  to  the  Hospital  during  the  several 
months  of  the  year.  The  value  of  such  services  may  be  obviously  very  im- 
portant. It  is  hoped  that  it  will  be  increasingly  felt  that  these  official  visits 
should  be  frequent,  and  that  the  visits  should  not  be  of  merely  formal 
character,  but  that  details  should  be  enquired  into  and  any  suggestions 
and  remarks  be  entered  in  a  book  kept  for  that  purpose. 

The  thanks  of  the  Committee  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  members  of  the 
Medical  Staff  for  their  arduous  and  gratuitous  services  to  the  Hospital. 
Any  adequate  pecuniary  compensation  for  these  services  must  be  always 
beyond  the  means  of  the  institution,  and  would  probably  not  be  received  from 
the  Charity  if  could  be  offered.  The  duties  of  the  Medical  Staff  become 
more  onerous  year  by  year,  as  the  work  of  the  Hospital  increases,  and  as 
the  character  of  the  cases  becomes  more  severe  in  consequence  of  the 
railway  facilities  ;  cases  of  aggravated  character  being  now  sent  to  the  Hos- 
pital, which  could  not  have  borne  the  fatigue  of  travelHng  otherwise  than 
by  railway.  It  is  only  right  that  the  additional  duty  thus  imposed  upon 
the  members  of  the  Medical  Staff  should  be  gratefully  acknowledged. 

The  thanks  of  the  Committee  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  Honorary  Chap- 
lain, to  the  Treasurer,  to  the  Auditors,  to  Mr.  Sykes  as  Meteorologist,  and 
to  the  various  officials  whether  honorary  or  otherwise,  who  in  their  several

capacities  have  served  the  Hospital  most  satisfactorily  during  the  year.  The 
House  Surgeon,  the  Secretary,  and  the  Master  and  Matron  deserve,  and  are 
hereby  offered,  the  thanks  of  the  Committee  of  Management. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  the  Annual  Meeting  of  Subscribers  is  to  be 
held  on  the  first  Saturday  in  April,  at  half-past  three  o'clock  in  the  after- 
noon. It  is  wished  that  the  later  period  of  the  year  may  induce  some  of 
the  Subscribers  who  reside  at  a  distance  from  Buxton  to  attend  the  meeting. 

The  Statement  is  submitted  of  receipts  and  expenditure  for  the  year 
ending  December  31st,  1873,  and  also  of  the  Estate  Account,  and  General 
Balance  Sheet ;  together  with  the  Annual  Statement  of  the  Wilmot  Belief 
Pund  Account. 


There  is  a  nucleus  for  a  Samaritan  Fund,  kindly  contributed  by  Mr. 
Challis,  Miss  Hall,  Mr.  Hebson,  Mr.  Hardwick,  Miss  Jackson,  Mr.  G. 
Walton,  and  "  A  Friend,"  per  Dr.  Robertson,  intended  for  the  relief  of 
urgent  cases  of  distress  on  being  discharged  from  the  Hospital ;  the  interest 
or  the  principal  of  which  is  available  at  the  discretion  of  the  officials  under 
authority  of  the  House  Committee.  Contributions  to  this  Fund  are  earn- 
estly solicited. 


At  the  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Trustees  and  the  Committee  of  Manage- 
ment, held  at  the  Hospital,  on  January  3rd,  1874,  after  the  consideration 
and  adoption  of  the  Annual  Beport,  it  was  resolved,  "  That  the  thanks  of 
the  Trustees  and  Committee  be  given  to  the  Chairman,  Dr.  Bobertson,  for 
the  Beport,  and  for  his  assiduous  attention  to  the  business  of  the  Hospital."

Eesolutions  by  the  Stewards  of  the  several  Houses  at  Buxton,  on  behalf 
of  the  Contributors  to  the  Charitable  Fund  EstabUshed  here,  for  the  better 
regulation  of  the  Charity,  made  September  13th,  1785. 

1st.    As  to  the  Contribution. 

Whebeas,  at  the  Commencement  of  this  Charity,  in  the  Year  1779, 
instituted  for  the  purpose  of  rendering  the  Beneficence  of  the  noble  Proprietor 
and  his  Ancestors,  (in  setting  apart  a  Bath  for  the  Use  of  the  Poor,)  more 
extensively  beneficial ;  two  Stewards  were  appointed  in  each  House  kept 
open  for  the  Reception  of  Company  to  receive  a  Contribution  of  One  Shilling 
only,  from  each  Person  residing  in  such  Houses,  for  the  Benefit  of  the 
Charity.  And  upon  the  Departure  of  one  of  the  Stewards,  the  departing 
Steward  hath  nominated  a  Successor ;  and  in  order  to  ascertain  the  Sums 
contributed,  the  Stewards  for  the  Time  being,  at  each  House,  have  kept  a 
Subscription  Book,  in  which  the  Contributors  have  respectively  written  their 
Names  and  the  Sum  of  One  Shilling  opposite  thereto  ;  and  as  the  Subscrip- 
tions have  amounted  to  competent  Sums,  the  Stewards  have  paid  over  the 
same  to  Mr.  Samuel  Buxton,  Apothecary,  in  Buxton,  as  Treasurer,  to  be 
applied  by  him  towards  the  Aid  and  Support  of  the  Poor,  whose  Infirmities 
have  caused  them  to  come  to  Buxton,  for  the  Use  of  the  Waters  ;  for  which 
Sums  the  said  Mr.  Buxton  hath  signed  Receipts  in  the  Subscription  Books. 
Resolved,  that  such  Practice  be  continued,  and  that  no  Person  be  permitted 
to  subscribe  a  greater  Sum  than  One  Shilling  in  the  Books  ;  and  that  the 
Receipts  of  Mr.  Buxton,  or  the  Treasurer  for  the  Time  being,  in  the  Subscrip- 
tion Books,  be  sufficient  Discharges  to  the  Stewards  for  what  they  receive. 

Resolved,  That  it  be  recommended  to  future  Stewards  to  hold  an  Audit  on 
the  13th  of  September  yearly,  to  inspect  the  Accounts  of  Mr.  Buxton,  or  of 
the  Treasurer  for  the  Time  being,  and  to  state  the  Accounts  of  the  preceding 
Year  in  like  manner  as  the  Accounts  are  this  Day  stated  in  the  Subscription 
Book  at  the  Hall.  And  it  is  declared,  that  the  Allowance  of  a  Duplicate  of 
the  Account  by  any  two  of  the  Stewards,  under  their  Hands,  shall  be  a 
sufficient  Discharge  to  Mr.  Buxton,  and  all  future  Treasurers. 

Resolved,  That  all  future  contributors  to  the  Charity  do  subscribe|thereto 
upon  the  Terms  of  these  Resolutions.

January,  February,  March,  or  April;  and  that  during  the  remaining  Six 
Months  of  the  Year,  not  more  than  sixteen  Objects,  at  one  Time,  be  relieved 
by  the  Charity.  And  that  no  Person  shall  be  admitted  on  any  other  Day

Eesolved,  That  Mr.  Buxton,  or  the  Treasurer  for  the  Time  being,  be  at 
liberty  to  retain  all  his  necessary  Expenses,  occasioned  by  the  Administration

THE  METEOEOLOGICAL  EEPOET  FOR  1873, 

FROM  THE  OBSERVATIONS  TAKEN  AT 

THE  DEVONSHIRE  HOSPITAL,  BUXTON. 


The  year  1873  resembled  the  previous  year  in  many  of  its  meteorological 
characteristics,  most  particularly  with  regard  to  the  mUdness  of  the  temperature 
and  scarcity  of  severe  frosts,  though  the  number  of  frosty  nights  exceeded  that  of 
the  previous  year  ;  the  genial  weather  observed  during  the  latter  portion  of  1872 
continued  almost  uninterruptedly  till  the  close  of  the  past  year.  There  has  been 
a  great  decrease  in  the  fall  of  rain,  and  also  in  the  number  of  storms  accompanied 
with  electrical  disturbance ;  fog,  hail,  and  snow,  have  also  been  rarer.  It  will  be 
observed  in  the  tabular  report  that  several  new  instruments  have  been  added  to 
the  observatory :  these  are  the  anemometer,  electrometer,  and  ozonometer.  This 
valuable  addition  of  instruments  will  produce,  from  the  present  accuracy  of  their 
■working,  very  satisfactory  and  reliable  results,  which  will  form  a  basis  of  valuable 
information  for  future  deductions. 

The  month  of  January  commenced  with  mild,  sunshiny  weather — quite  the 
reverse  of  what  is  usually  the  rule  ;  there  was  less  mist  and  fog  than  in  the  pre- 
vious January ;  two  storms  of  hail,  four  of  snow,  and  four  of  wind,  occurred ; 
frequent  showers  of  rain  fell,  but  unproductive  of  large  quantities,  and  the  amount 
of  ozone  was  greatest  during  this  month.  February  was  the  month  of  the  year 
during  which  the  greatest  amount  of  cold,  from  frost,  was  experienced  ;  snow  fell 
on  several  occasions,  and  hail  once  ;  the  rainfall  was  below  the  average ;  fog 
appeared  on  one  day,  and  heavy  wind  on  several.  During  the  first  four  or  five 
days  of  March  the  character  of  February  was  well  sustained  :  it  was  in  this  month 
the  lowest  degree  of  temperature  was  registered,  but  after  this  period  there 
appeared  to  be  a  break  in  the  weather  of  a  more  desirable  kind,  both  rain  and 
snow  were  plentiful,  and  very  thick  fogs  appeared  on  two  occasions,  and  very 
heavy  winds  on  several ;  the  early  portions  of  the  days  were  generally  overcast, 
and  seldom  varied  much  throughout  the  day.  With  April  came  a  still  greater 
change  for  the  better ;  the  temperature  during  the  middle  and  latter  portions  of 
the  month  increased  very  rapidly,  small  quantities  of  downfall  of  any  kind  were 
registered,  many  of  the  nights  were  rendered  cold  by  slight  frosts — the  effects  of 
these  generally  disappeared  in  an  hour's  time  after  the  sun  aiose,  imder  the 
influence  of  which  the  trees  soon  became  covered  with  leaves  ;  small  quantities  of 
snow  and  hail  were  observed  on  a  few  occasions.  May  commenced  with  some  very 
unsettled  weather,  although  the  rise  of  temperature  was  steadily  progressing  and 
a  gradual  decrease  in  the  number  of  frosty  nights,  after  the  few  days  had  passed 
that  were  disturbed  by  squalls,  the  chief  features  were  almost  cloudless  skies,  fine, 
warm,  and  sunshiny ;  there  was  a  larger  amount  of  downfall  during  this  month 
than  any  previous  one  ;  hail  fell  on  one  occasion.  June,  like  the  preceding  month, 
began  with  a  few  brisk  gales  and  electrical  distru'bance  ;  after  this  had  subsided  a 
great  increase  of  temperature  was  recorded,  notwithstanding  the  gloominess  which 


2P 


METEOROLOGICAL  EEPORT. 


occurred  on  many  of  the  mornings,  the  latter  portions  of  the  days  were  warm  and 
all  that  could  be  wished  for ;  one  frosty  night  was  the  greatest  amount  of  cold 
that  was  registered,  and  snow  fell  once,  though  somewhat  unusual  at  that  period 
of  the  year  ;  and  a  hailstorm  was  recorded.  Several  thunderstorms  were  observed 
during  July,  which  varied  the  otherwise  seasonable  weather ;  moderate  quantities 
of  rain  fell — the  showers  were  very  frequent  and  light ;  the  highest  degree  of  tem- 
perature was  registered  during  this  month.  August  commenced  with  showers, 
■which  were  maintained  throughout  the  month  with  a  very  few  exceptional  days  ; 
the  temperature  was  much  higher  than  could  have  been  anticipated  under  the 
circumstances ;  the  dullness  of  the  mornings  formed  a  predominant  feature  ;  the 
later  portions  of  the  days  were  generally  interspersed  with  varying  quantities  of 
enjoyable  weather.  September  began  with  a  high  temperature,  which  was  con- 
tinued through  the  month  ;  an  average  amount  of  rain  fell ;  frost  again  commenced, 
hut  the  general  warmth  was  little  affected  by  it ;  many  of  the  mornings  were  some- 
what dull  and  watery-looking,  which  changed  in  the  afternoons  to  fine  pleasant 
weather.  October  commenced  with  an  excess  of  temperature,  which  continued  for 
a  few  days,  and  was  succeeded  by  several  very  heavy  thunderstorms ;  during  this 
month  the  rain  was  most  abundant,  and  may  justly  be  termed  the  wettest  month 
of  the  year  ;  snow,  hail,  and  fog,  were  observed  on  several  occasions  ;  an  increase 
of  frost  was  also  registered,  the  general  temperature  of  the  few  days  in  the  earlier 
part  of  the  month  was  rapidly  reduced,  making  the  mornings  and  nights  very 
much  cooler  than  had  hitherto  been  felt.  During  the  month  of  November 
a  gradual  decrease  of  temperature  continued  until  the  lowest  temperature  was 
registered  on  the  15th  ;  average  quantities  of  rain  fell,  hail  and  fog  appeared 
on  one  occasion ;  but  the  most  remarkable  feature  of  the  month  was  the 
prevalent  storms  of  wind,  attended  in  some  cases  with  disastrous  results  ;  on 
several  of  the  days  fine  open  weather  was  noted,  interspersed  with  frequent  light 
showers  of  rain.  The  month  of  December  was  remarkable  for  the  prevailing  high 
temperature,  which  attained  on  Christmas  Day  TO'^  in  the  sun ;  the  average  tem- 
perature of  this  month  was  higher  than  that  of  November,  though  frost  was  more 
frequent ;  the  few  showers  of  rain  that  did  occur  were  so  slight  that  the  total 
rainfall  of  the  whole  month  registered  little  more  than  one  inch  and  a  half ; 
lightning  was  observed  on  one  evening ;  there  were  also  several  very  heavy  storms 
of  wind  recorded — the  one  on  the  16th  was  particularly  violent,  and  caused  much 
injury  to  life  and  property  in  many  of  the  manufacturing  towns  in  the  middle  and 
northern  counties. 

The  Barometer. — The  mean  height  of  the  barometrical  readings  for  the  last  five 
years  was  29'873  inches  ;  the  mean  height  of  the  readings  for  1873  when  reduced 
to  the  sea  level,  and  corrected  for  temperature  to  32*^  F.,  was  29'873  inches,  or 
above  that  of  last  year  by  -155  inch.  The  barometer  recorded  its  maximum  height 
29"675  inches  (unreduced)  on  the  18th  of  February,  being  '177  inch  above  that  of 
1872  ;  and  its  minimum  27*44;6  inches  (unreduced)  on  the  20th  of  January,  above 
the  minimum  of  last  year  by  "Oil  of  an  inch.  The  range  between  the  maximum 
and  minimum  was  2-229  inches,  or  '175  of  an  inch  more  than  that  of  the  previous 
year  ;  the  mean  average  range  for  the  year  1873  was  1*142  inches,  or  '127  of  an 
inch  above  that  of  1872. 

The  Temperature  in  the  Shade. — The  average  mean  temperature  of  the  air  for 
the  last  five  years  was  45^1 ;  the  mean  temperature  of  the  air  for  1873  was  45°2, 
or  ^^7  lower  than  that  of  last  year.  The  maximum  degree  of  temperature  in  the 
shade  was  88'^  on  the  22nd  of  July,  or  3*^5  above  that  of  the  three  previous  years  ; 
the  minimum  6'='5  was  registered  on  the  24th  of  February,  being  a  deficiency  of  9^* 
on  the  amount  of  the  former  year.  The  total  annual  range  is  81'^5,  or  ll'*  more 
than  that  of  1872  ;  the  mean  monthly  range  is  39*^9,  or  l'^4  more  than  that  of  the 
previous  year.  The  mean  diurnal  range  14°7  shows  an  increase  of  0^2  on  that  of 
1872.  The  greatest  range  of  temperature  that  occurred  on  one  day  was  38?  on 
the  30th  of  May,  and  the  least  2'^5  on  the  23rd  of  November. 

Radiation. — The  maximum  degree  of  solar  radiation  was  99°,  on  the  22nd  of 
July,  which  was  2*^  above  that  of  the  previous  year  ;  the  minimum  degree  of  the 
terrestrial  radiator  was  11'^  on  the  22nd  of  February,  below  that  of  the  previous 
year  by  5^.  The  total  annual  range  between  the  maximum  and  minimum  radiators 
was  88'^,  showing  an  increase  of  7*^.  The  mean  average  monthly  range  of  radiation 
for  the  year  was  53*^4 ;  the  greatest  range  of  radiation  occurring  in  one  day  was 
58°5  on  the  30th  of  May ;  and  the  least  4°  on  the  30th  of  January  and  the  2nd  of 


METEOEOLOGICAL  EEPORT. 


27 


February.  There  were  162  nights  on  which  the  temperature  was  at  32*^  or  below, 
which  shows  an  increase  of  43  nights  over  the  amount  in  the  previous  year. 

The  Hi/grometrical  Condition  of  the  Atmosphere. — The  a^'^erage  mean  tem- 
perature of  the  dew  point  for  1873  was  42°1,  0»2  below  the  mean  of  1872  ;  the  mean 
degree  of  humidity  ("951)  was  above  that  of  1872  by  '106  of  a  degree,  that  is, 
assuming  1*000  as  a  standard  point  when  the  atmosphere  is  thoroughly  saturated 
with  moisture.  The  average  mean  amount  of  elastic  force  of  vapour  was  '276 
inches,  or  '002  of  an  inch  more  than  that  of  1872  ;  the  mean  weight  of  vapour  in 
a  cubic  foot  of  air  was  3'14  grains,  or  '03  grains  more  than  that  of  the  previous 
year  ;  the  mean  amount  of  additional  vapour  required  to  saturate  a  cubic  foot  of 
air  was  '6  grains,  or  '07  grains  less  than  the  quantity  required  in  1872. 

The  Rainfall. — The  average  mean  amount  of  rainfall  at  Buxton  for  the  last 
nine  years  was  61-731  inches.  The  amount  collected  at  Buxton  for  1873  was 
43'271  inches,  or  27*080  inches  less  than  in  1872.  The  maximum  fall  of  rain  during 
24  hours  was  1*205  inches  on  the  21st  of  October,  Rain,  snow,  &c.,  fell  on  212 
days  dui-ing  1873,  being  63  days  less  than  in  1872,  The  rain  guage  at  Poole's 
Cavern  furnishes  a  total  for  1873  of  44*630  inches ;  the  greatest  fall  during  24 
hours  was  1*430  inches  on  the  21st  of  October  ;  rain,  snow,  &c.  fell  on  190  days, 
being  53  less  than  the  previous  year.  The  total  rainfall  on  Axe  Edge  was  36*010 
inches,  showing  a  decrease  of  18*610  inches  on  the  amount  of  1872.  The  average 
fall  for  the  district  was  41*303  inches. 

Wind. — The  average  of  the  mean  directions  of  the  wind  may  be  proportionately 
represented  by  the  following  numbers,  viz., — W.  11,  N.  7,  S.  4,  and  E.  2.  The 
mean  estimated  force  was  1*7,  or  '2  more  than  that  of  the  past  year.  The  mean 
average  number  of  miles  traversed  by  the  wind  daily  was  230. 

Cloud. — The  mean  estimated  amount  of  cloud  was  7*2,  or  '6  less  than  the  mean 
of  1872.    September,  April,  and  July,  were  the  least  cloudy  months  of  the  year. 

Ozone. — The  mean  daily  average  amount  of  ozone  was  3 ;  in  the  month  of 
January  the  greatest  amount  was  registered.
