Born in Cornwall, John Davy (1790-1868) physiologist and anatomist, and the younger brother of the distinguished chemist Sir Humphry Davy (1778-1829), was one of the most prolific medical experts of his day. After taking a medical degree from Edinburgh in 1814 he became an army surgeon. He later became a hospital inspector and spent time living in overseas territories including India, Sri Lanka, and Barbados. First published in 1862, Davy's book discusses the prominence of fever, dysentery, cholera, liver disease, pneumonia, and other diseases common to the army, estimating that 45% of deaths in the British army serving abroad were caused by disease rather than by conflict. Davy also records his observations on putrefaction of bodies, particularly the vital organs, emphasising the need to determine the normal condition of human organs so that abnormal, diseased organs can be easily identified.

John Davy (1790-1868) spent years as an army surgeon, and was stationed in the Mediterranean from 1824 to 1835. He took detailed notes on his surroundings, later published in this two-volume 1842 work. Volume 1 examines the history, geology, and climate of the Ionian Islands and Malta.

Sir Humphry Davy (1778-1829) was a hugely influential chemist, inventor, and public lecturer who is recognised as one of the first professional scientists. This 1836 memoir by his brother John Davy makes use of family and personal papers to convey Sir Humphry's character as well as his scientific achievements.

John Davy (1790-1868) was an English army doctor who was appointed Inspector General of Army Hospitals. This volume, first published in 1854, describes the culture and society of Barbados and other Caribbean Islands and provides valuable descriptions of the social conditions which existed after the Emancipation Act.

John Davy (1790-1868), an army surgeon, published this work in 1821, based on interviews and observations during a four-year visit. Containing an overview of the island's natural history and the culture of its people, along with an account of Davy's travels, the work offers insights into early nineteenth-century Ceylon.
