Books by Thomas Winterbottom

This two-volume work is based on Winterbottom's experiences as a doctor in Sierra Leone, which resulted in a very positive opinion of the country and its inhabitants. In Volume 1 he offers a many-faceted picture of the climate, history and traditions of Sierra Leone.

First published in 1803, this work presents an informative description of the tribes surrounding Sierra Leone, with the second volume presenting a systematic account of African medicine, diseases, remedies and therapeutic plants.
