Journal of John Ivor Murray, army surgeon (1824-1903).
Scope and Contents
The first pages contain an account of John Murray’s voyage from Shanghai to Hong Kong in February 1854. The greater part of the journal is concerned with his homeward journey, and describes the events from the time of Murray's final departure from Shanghai in January 1855 (folio 15), until his arrival at Constantinople in August the same year, when he offered his medical services to the allied forces at Sebastopol. It includes a detailed account, with occasional illustrations, of his travels in Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon.
