He ran a boarding school in Belfast, where one of his pupils was Thomas Romney Robinson, the astronomer. He was a founding member of the Belfast Literary Society (1801), and a member of the Royal Irish Academy, where for many years he was the librarian, with an interest in Celtic literature. He was granted a degree of doctor of divinity from Marischal College, Aberdeen, in 1810. He was buried at Harold's Cross Cemetery near Dublin. Some of his poetry: Juvenile Poems, 1795.
