His eight years in the East furnished the materials for his New Account of East-India and Persia, in Eight Letters, which he published in 1698. The letters display a lively curiosity, which, sharpened by his scientific training, produces accurate observations in geology, meteorology, and all aspects of natural history.His professional background makes Fryer a valuable commentator upon contemporary medicine as practiced in Surat."(Ency.
