His journal provides an extensive and thorough study of the cities, citizens, customs, natural history, resources, etc. of the country. The work is highlighted by the two handsome plates which include a hand-colored engraving of "The Author in the Travelling Costume of the Country" and a hand-colored aquatint of a "Precipitous Descent of a Cordillera of the Andes in the Province of Choco."
