Language: eng
Notes: In his The dramatic works, tr. Smith, v. 2, 1800[1803?]

Translated by Alexander Thomson from his "Die Indianer in England"; first published in Thomson's "The German miscellany" (Perth, 1796), p. 1-132 with title "The Indians in England". The first separate edition, with title "The East Indian", appeared in London, 1799. This translation is also, though erroneously, attributed to Charles Smith.

Evans notes a frontispiece portrait, evidently the engraving of Hodgkinson by C. Tiebout that serves as frontispiece to v. 2 of Kotzebue's "The dramatic works", New York, Smith & Stephens, 1800. This portrait is not present in the copies at Harvard, the American antiquarian society, or the Library of Congress.
