A cemetery in Beirut by the British naval surgeon Francis Brockell Spilsbury in his book "Picturesque Scenery in the Holy Land and Syria, Delineated during the Campaigns of 1799 and 1800.
This view of Mount Lebanon is from the burying ground. The old castle at a distance was built by Constantine the Great: from that to the mountain, the ground is beautifully laid out in mulberry gardens, which serve as nurseries for silk-worms. The mulberry here cultivated is of the white species, and is without taste. The persons who feed the silk-worms, cut off the branches of the trees almost close to the trunks, the young sprouts being intended for the brood of the succeeding year. The huts which shelter these useful insects, are extremely light, being built of reeds and covered with the same material. They are kept remarkably clean, each hut generally having three tiers of little boxes for the worms on each side, and the same in the middle. It was in these gardens, that the author used to take out his convalescent patients on asses, accompanied by his friend Mr. Wright in a chair.

Letter to Dominique Larrey from M. Lecomte, dated 13 December 1850. Letter written in French.
Dominique Jean Larrey (1766-1842) was chief surgeon to Napoleon's armies, serving on varied campaigns including the Egyptian expedition of 1798 and the Russian campaign of 1812. A favourite of the Emperor, he was made Baron Larrey on the field at the battle of Wagram in 1809. After Napoleon's defeat, Larrey's medical reputation saved him from a fall from grace. His achievements included introducing a system of "flying ambulances" onto the battlefield, to treat and remove the injured. He also wrote a number of works on surgery, which are still widely used. Felix Hippolyte Larrey (1808-1895) was the son of Dominique Larrey, and inherited the title of Baron Larrey on his fathers death in 1842. He was chief medical officer of the army and physician to Napoleon III, and was elected president of the Academie de Medecine in 1863. As well as his medical work, Felix Larrey was the political representative for the town of Bagneres-de-Bigorre in south west France for a number of years
