Written years before ''[[Uncle Tom's Cabin]]'', '''''Francisco''''' could not be published immediately due to colonial censorship. The manuscript was delivered to British official and abolitionist [[Richard Robert Madden]] in 1840, along with a revised copy of the work ''Autobiografía de un esclavo'' ({{lang-en|Autobiography of a slave}}) by [[Juan Francisco Manzano]], which had been proofread by '''Suárez y Romero''' himself.<ref name="rosenthal"/><ref name="burton"/><ref name="kanellos">{{cite book |title=Handbook of Hispanic cultures in the United States, Volume 3|last1=Kanellos|first1=Nicolás|last2=Fabregat|first2=Claudio Esteva|year=1994|publisher=Arte Público Press|ref=harv}}</ref> ▼

About the importance of '''''Francisco''''' as a literary masterpiece, British abolitionist Madden was quoted as saying that:
<blockquote>
Tho there is literary merit of but small amount in this piece, there is life and truth in every line of it. [...]
In this little piece of the Ingenio there is a minuteness of description and closeness of observation and a rightness of feeling that I have not often seen surpassed.<ref name="williams">Lorna V. Williams. ''The representation of slavery in Cuban fiction''. (1994).</ref>
</blockquote>
Madden himself thought that the narrative employed by '''Suárez y Romero''' in ''Francisco'' had a palpable realm of invisible realism in it. No other book, in his opinion, was as descriptive, or as graphically drafted, as in ''Francisco'' 's prose, in which slavery was depicted with the same intellectual rigor as in real life in Cuba. Madden found certain parts of the book originally narrated, in a prose style by which '''Suárez y Romero''' was known for, especially when the central figure in the book, still shackled after being injured by lashes, had to endure the humid heat in a mistreated and painful state, while harvesting sugar cane.<ref name="williams"/>
Most of the early readers of ''Francisco'' agreed with [[Richard Robert Madden|Madden]] in that the book had a realistic and accurate representation not before seen.<ref name="williams"/>
Others, like the critic Enrique Piñeyro, thought that the book was unoriginal. His opinion would appear in the periodical ''El Ateneo'' in Havana, and later in ''Revista Cubana''.<ref name="williams"/>
