GA answers:

  • "flaws were found with Hawkesworth's morals, theology, geography, and with the excessive payment he had received": can we expand on these criticisms? The article is quite short, and the criticism sounds like a significant part of the response to it, but we get almost no details.
    See Wallis and Beaglehole.
  • Do modern sources that refer to it have anything interesting to say about its representations and accuracies or inaccuracies, or its biases, or anything of that sort?
    see Binney and Edwards!
