Narrative of a journey to Morocco,

Dr. Thomas Hodgkin (1798-1866), an eminent physician was the first to identify the type of lymphoma now known as Hodgkins disease. He travelled to Morocco in 1864, accompanying Sir Moses Montefiore, who was on a mission to the Sultan of Morocco to seek an improvement in the treatment of the Jewish population. Hodgkin died in Jaffa in 1866 after a severe attack of dysentery and this volume was published posthumously by his friends as a memorial. The illustration of the obelisk is of the one erected by Sir Moses Montefiore as a memorial to him.
