Probable hoax. No reliable sources found. The first source to the Durham book is a real book but a Google Book search inside has no results for "Farrow". The second source The Lower Canada Journal of Medicine appears to be a bogus non-existent journal? A full-text search of Internet Archive finds nothing for a William Henry Farrow of this type.
If this is determined to be a hoax, it would be the third oldest hoax in Misplaced Pages history at 15 years and > 11 months. -- GreenC 04:30, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

- Hold on a minute Would like to see pages 374-376 of that book. The article's originator, User:Babynator, wrote a passage on John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham (ID 97193681) reading "It was during Durham's trip to the Canadas aboard the Hastings that he experienced one of the first recorded cases of synesthesia. The observations were made by a friend of Durham's, Dr. William Henry Farrow, who was a young doctor traveling to the Canadas on Durham's invitation." and searching the book shows that the trip is described on page 375, so it is not implausible that there is something there. However, I can't find any reference to "doctor" in that section, nor "synaesthesia" anywhere. At the time of that trip, the term synesthesia would not have been used anyway. The reference to synesthesia has been removed from Lambton's Misplaced Pages page since, but persists on the Spanish version of the article. -- rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 05:32, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
