Notes	Abstract: During the Ottoman era, Iraq was exposed, especially during the first quarter of the nineteenth century, to deadly waves of plague due to many factors, the most important of which was the lack of interest of the Ottoman Empire, under whose control Iraq was under its control, in the health system. Since travel books were an important source for monitoring these waves and their consequences, we decided to shed light on them through the writings of the traveler James Baillie Fraser’s journey to Iraq during (1834 - 1835) due to the proximity of his journey. From its occurrence, especially the waves of plague in 1831, 1832, and 1834, he witnessed its effects on Iraq and proceeded to record it in the folds of his two books, “Travels in Kurdistan and Mesopotamia,” and another, “Mesopotamia and Assyria from the Early Ages to the Present,” in which he provided detailed information on the subject that deserves to be studied individually.
