Ives travelled to India as surgeon of the Kent, the flagship of Vice-Admiral Charles Watson, commander-in-chief in the East Indies. The work includes an account and illustration of Geriah Fort (now Vijaydurg), a notorious pirate stronghold until the East India Company sent admiral Watson and Clive to seize the town and burn the ships. His return journey was by way of Basra, Baghdad, Mosul, Diarbekir, Bir, Aleppo, Latichea, Cyprus and Leghorn.
