Of this work, the Quarterly Review for January, 1817, says: "The general spirit of the book, indeed, is excellent; the manner more resembling the good, old, plain, straight forward style of our best travellers, than the modern fashion of fine periods; and the matter, for the most part, equally curious and amusing, presenting a faithful picture of a very interesting stage in the progress of society."
