Thomas Cox Reynolds, 'Character of Mr. George Maxwell, an excellent young artist', Gentleman's magazine, March 1790, 60: 201-4 ("It may be proper to mention, that all the plates in the patriotic Mr. Boys's 'History and antiquities of Sandwich' are from drawings of his making; but, as the engraver has not done him justice in more than one or two of the plates, he is seen at a great disadvantage even there.")
