This book presents the recollections of the travels made by Surgeon-Major John MacGregor M.D. in Sarawak, Siam, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaya and Burma in 1895. It is a lively account by a medical doctor with a wide scope of interests, from contemporary political issues to the customs and the traditions of native peoples. The well-read author is on the look-out for the peculiar things one often finds in travelogues, in order to verify and to savour. The account excels in its colourful and often witty descriptions of encounters and events on the road to Singapore, Kuching, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Saigon, Malacca and Mandalay. It presents an accurate and lively picture of the people and the countries on the eve of rapid development. Ref NN6.

Free endpapers quite heavily browned, the text lightly so, contemporary pencilled ownership inscription to the front free endpaper, some neat pencil notes to the rear endpapers, but overall a…very good copy in the original burgundy diapered cloth, just a little rubbed, string-mark to the fore-edge of both boards. xviii, 290pp. F.V. White & Co., MacGregor saw active service in India, Arabia, Baluchistan and Burma. During the Third Burma War, 1885-7, he was Senior Medical Officer at Bhamo, and served on the Mongoung Expedition and with various flying columns including the retreat from Katraon and the picturesquely-named ambuscade of Thaphangain. He was awarded the medal with two clasps. His Who's Who entry records that he "has acted as Professor of Materia Medica in Bombay". He died in 1932. The present work describes travels undertaken on furlough through a region that had "begun suddenly to attract public attention" due to rising tension in the "Buffer State", as a result of French claims on the Mekong. Includes a trip to Angkor Wat which was just beginning to emerge from the jungle.
