He advocated incessantly ideas of anti-slavery and anti-materialism as well as discussing power's ability to corrupt. The "Journal," was published posthumously in 1774 by Joseph Crukshank, a Philadelphia Quaker printer. Contents: The Curse of Slavery Among the Indians Across the Atlantic Prices, Wages, and Religion
