Journal by Dr Forrest Leon Loveland, general practitioner, Topeka, Kansas, documenting a trip he made to Europe with his wife Helen, 29 Jul 1931-23 Dec 1931.

Immediately on arrival Dr Loveland joined the American Medical Association of Vienna and began attending medical classes at Vienna University, including Dr Hermann Chiari's pathology class. Numerous photographs, postcards, tickets, newscuttings, maps, souvenirs etc. are pasted into the volume, and loose items were inserted between the pages up to 1949.

Abbreviated transcript of Roxburgh's 'Flora Indica', a dictionary of Indian plants and shrubs. Arranged in 23 classes: Monandria to Polygamia. With index by a later hand. Volume 1 of 'Flora Indica' as published at Serampore in 1820. It was edited by William Carey (1761-1834) and contained entries of additional plants by Nathaniel Wallich (1786-1854). There was a second edition of this Volume 1 in 1824 with more of Wallich's notes, but no further volumes were published until 1832. At that date Carey published the complete work in 3 volumes, but omitting the Wallich notes. This manuscript seems to be a shortened version of the work, with some of Wallich's notes, distinguished by the addition of the letter W. But the descriptions are here somewhat differently set out, and the native names of plants are omitted.
