This travelogue by Dr Arthur Leared (1822 1879) follows his journey
through Morocco during 1872, giving a comprehensive picture of the
country and its people. At this time, Morocco was a French
protectorate, ruled by the Alouite dynasty, comprising a mix of
tribes, cultures, races and religions. Following Leared's route
south, the geography, people, culture, legal and religious
practices of Morocco are all explored thoroughly, with personal
memories and anecdotes of daily life. As a physician and the
inventor of the binaural stethoscope, Leared was interested in the
advantages of the climate for treating respiratory diseases,
particularly tuberculosis, and in native medical materials and
practices. He subsequently became the physician at the Portuguese
embassy, and planned the foundation of a sanatorium in Tangier. A
vivid and balanced account of the country, as viewed from the
stance of an objective traveller as the country began to open up to
Europeans.
