While in Abyssinia he made many observations on the geography the customs of the people and the flora and fauna. He brought back many specimens including a previously unknown dik-dik . In 1812 he was elected one of the very few honorary members of the African Association in acknowledgement of information he had procured in its interest. In 1814 he published A Voyage to Abyssinia which was received with some acclaim" ODNB.
