His "History of the House of Austria" (London, 1807, new ed. 1853 and 1873), and "Memoirs of the Bourbon Kings of Spain" (London, 1813), give evidence of careful and painstaking work on the part of the author. The style, however, as in all his works, is remarkably dull.

*"Sketches of the Natural, Political and Civil State of Switzerland" (London, 1779)
*"Account of the Russian Discoveries between Asia and America" (London, 1780)
*"Account of Prisons and Hospitals in Russia, Sweden and Denmark" (London, 1781)

*"Letter on Secret Tribunals of Westphalia" (London, 1796)
*"Historical Tour in Monmouthshire" (London, 1801).
He also edited Gay's "Fables", and wrote a "Life of John Gay" (Salisbury, 1797), "Anecdotes of G. F. Handel and J. C. Smith" (London, 1798), and a few other works of minor importance. Some of his books have been translated into French, and several have gone through two or more editions.
