Miller was a remarkable observational polymath and, somewhat surprisingly, possessed a wry sense of humour. See his book “First impressions of England and its People” for his dry observations on his fellow travellers.<br /> <br />Thank you for bringing him to a wider audience.<br /> <br />Kind regards,<br />Alix Powers-Jones<br /> <br />Dr. Alix H.
