A contribution to the chronicles of India only superseded by the more important work of Orme.

Richard Owen Cambridge was a British poet. His chief work is the Scribbled (1751), a mock epic poem, the hero of which is the Martinus Scriblerus of Alexander Pope, John Arbuthnot and Jonathan Swift. The poem is preceded by a dissertation on the mock heroic, in which he avows Cervantes as his master. The satire shows considerable learning, and was eagerly read by literary people; but it never became popular, and the allusions, always obscure, have little interest for the present-day reader.

He made a valuable contribution to history in his Account of the War in India on the Coast of Coromandel from the year 1750 to 1760 (1761).

He had intended to write a history of the rise and progress of British power in India, but this enterprise went no further than this one work.
