Mandelslo was authorized to leave the embassy in Persia and to continue his travels to the Far East. He went to Surat Agra and Goa in India where he received great kindness from the English merchants and he also visited Ceylon. He gives long accounts of the other parts of the Far East which he did not visit personally. His return was made to England by sea via the Cape of Good Hope which he visited in 1639" Hill. Mandelslo's narrative contains substantial information on the Far East. "Before his death Mandelslo had entrusted his rough notes to Olearius who subsequently published them bound with his numerous official accounts of the embassy" Howgego.
