E. J. (E. Jocelyn) Wortley

E. J. Wortley, also listed as E. Jocelyn Wortley, was a writer active in the early 1900s whose work ranged across practical and educational subjects. Library records connect the name with Souvenirs of Jamaica (1906), A Companion to Blackie's Tropical Readers, Books I and II (1911), and Poultry Diseases: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment, with Notes on Post-Mortem Examinations (1915).

The best-known of these books is Poultry Diseases, a straightforward manual for poultry keepers. It gathers symptoms, likely causes, treatments, and preventive advice, showing a strongly practical approach intended to help readers solve real problems rather than impress them with technical language.

Available catalog and archive sources confirm the dates 1884–1942, but they offer very little personal biographical detail beyond the publications themselves. No suitable confirmed portrait image was found in the sources reviewed, so a profile image is not included here.
