Charles Lewis Meryon (1783 1877) was the personal physician to the
unconventional and adventurous Lady Hester Stanhope (1776 1839),
who left England in 1810 to travel to the Middle East. She
eventually settled in Lebanon and by the time she died no longer
had contact with any Europeans. Meryon's Travels of Lady Hester
Stanhope (also reissued in this series) recounted her journey
during the first seven years he spent with her before returning to
England to complete his medical training. Over the next twenty
years, they remained in contact and he stayed with her on two more
occasions before she died. In this three-volume work, first
published in 1845, Meryon presents letters he received from her and
recounts their conversations, giving a remarkable insight into the
woman he describes as 'out of humour with all mankind'. Volume 3
covers the period from 1838 until her death, including reflections
on her isolated final months of life.
