His travelogues were noted for their Romantic undertones, lively descriptions of Indian cultures and peoples, as well as criticisms of European colonialism, slavery, and cultural domination. He mixed up facts, romance and strong prejudices in very readable stories which provide insight into typical English Enlightment views on colonial and Indian society' (Coolhaas p.66-67).

He has a lively and compelling manner (Nieuwenhuys, Mirror of the Indies, p.21). - (Margin of 1 leaf damaged with some loss of letters).Tiele 433; Cat.
