His memoirs offer a glimpse into 18th-century life and are esteemed for their detail and cultural insights. Bray's literary style is reflective of the Enlightenment period, characterized by a quest for knowledge and discovery, interweaving personal anecdotes with observations of the social, political, and cultural milieu of his time. His diary is not merely a catalog of events but a tapestry rich in historical context, revealing the author's enthusiasm for history and his personal interactions with notable figures of his era. His work remains a valuable resource for historians and provides a unique perspective on the daily life and times of Georgian England.
