Por intermédio do conde de Linhares, John Mawe, mineralogista inglês e temporariamente administrador da Fazenda Real Santa Cruz, conseguiu a licença - até então negada - de inspeccionar as diversas minas e sua produtividade extrativa. O relato de Mawe satisfez a grande necessidade de informações, sendo este seu trabalho amplamente divulgado através de inúmeras edições e traduções.

Seu relato contém ainda notícias sobre o Rio de Grande do Sul, Mato Grosso e o Nordeste brasileiro."--(MORAES, 2010, v. 2, p. 57). Koppel informa que a obra contém 9 gravuras em cobre, sendo uma colorida, gravadas por William Woolnoth, Strickland Lowry e Barrenger, segundo os desenhos de T.
