Not to be confused with Charles Walter Kinloch, author of "Die Zieke Reiziger; Rambles in Java and the Straits in 1852 by 'Bengal Civilian'". Diary of a voyage from Calcutta (Kolkata) to Penang, then to Singapore, and then to Batavia (Jakarta) and a tour of Java (Indonesia), an excursion recommended on medical grounds for an unspecified illness (Die Zieke Reiziger = the sick traveller in Dutch, the occupying colonial power of Indonesia at the time). Simpkin, Marshall & Co, 1853, Oxford University Press, 1987. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=t5leAAAAcAAJ&pg=PR4#v=onepage&q&f=false Robert P Connolly (talk) 12:40, 13 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
