چکیده
John Fryer, m.d. (Cantab.), f.r.s., may be rightly described as the most observant and learned of all the physicians and surgeons of the East India Company in the 17th century. He came out to India in 1673 and served at various settlements in this country and Persia till 1682. During his journey to his station, Surat, he visited Fort St. George and Masulipatam on the Coromandel coast, and Goa and other places on the west coast. After returning to England in 1682 he published a learned and delightful book on India, ' A new account of East India and Persia,' which is the basis for this article.
