The collection is a wide-ranging reference guide. The six volumes are made up of one-paragraph biographies of medical travel authors drawn from all peoples and regions of the world. The authors are included because they have published a book of travel or have left significant material of book potential. Some space is given to travellers from abroad into the region represented by the volume.

“. . . will become a required source for anyone writing on the development and influence of the British Empire.” – Prof. Davis Coakley, University of Dublin Trinity College
