Lewis was a man of many talents; he had enjoyed a thorough classical education at Eton and Oxford; in his later years he published inter alia on political theory and linguistic problems.

Lewis' letters begin with his translation of Müller's work on the Dorians, in which the author himself took considerable interest and obviously made suggestions which impressed Lewis: "We have been much struck with your accurate knowledge of English; in many places indeed you have improved our style, not only in correctness, but in elegance" (14).
