A historic travelogue with an eye toward the medical conditions encountered along the way, this rare book sheds light on western Asia from a unique vantage-point. Wittman describes his journey through Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, noting along the way the diseases suffered by the residents, and brings the world of ancient western Asia to life through his vivid writing.

William Wittman (d. 1815) was a medical doctor and a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in London. Little is known of his personal life apart from this book which is the account of his travels while he was the Surgeon of the British Military Mission traveling with the army of the Grand Vizier. There is a monument to him in St. AndrewAes, Chichester.
