J. Wills, M.D. is a historical account written in the late 19th century." This work chronicles Wills's personal experiences during his time in Persia, detailing the customs, society, and geography he encountered. With a focus on both the humor and challenges of life in Persia, Wills offers insights gained from his role as a medical officer within the country's telegraph department. "The opening of the book introduces us to Dr. Wills, who is preparing for his journey to Persia after responding to a job advertisement in the "Lancet"." The initial chapter narrates his doubts and suspicions about the legitimacy of the opportunity, showcasing his comedic misgivings regarding his future employer and the cultural terrain he is about to navigate. After securing the appointment and purchasing his travel gear, Wills recounts his travels from England to Vienna and then on to Constantinople, where he indulges in local cultures and customs while forming a backdrop of anticipation for his upcoming endeavors in Persia. These anecdotes set the stage for an enthralling and warmly humorous examination of life in a foreign land.
