Pinkerton's collection of voyages was published over the course of six years in a total of seventeen volumes. The six volumes devoted to Europe comprise the largest section of the collection. They are "of great value for its texts which are sometimes given entire and sometimes abridged with as much as possible of the traveler's own language" Hill. <br/><br/>Pinkerton was something of a character. Having apprenticed to an Edinburgh solicitor upon the death of his father and receipt of his inheritance he immediately turned his back to a legal career and dedicated himself to literary matters. Through his works as a historian poet and playwrite he made friendships with the likes of Horace Walpole Walter Scott and Edward Gibbon and through his controversial religious views and short temper he eventually lost them.

In 1830 Elliott helped to found the short-lived Sheffield Mechanics Anti-Bread Tax Society and formed the Sheffield Anti-Corn Law Society in 1834.it was his protest verse favourably reviewed by Thomas Carlyle Bulwer-Lytton the Howitts W. J. Fox and Geraldine Jewsbury which bolstered his reputation as poet of the poor even after he had accumulated substantial wealth" DNB.
