In 1806 he joined his brother in the Magna Britannica; and published, in 1797, Roman Remains discovered at Woodchester and Minchenhampton; in 1801, his Figures of Mosaic Pavements; in 1802, his Remains of Roman Antiquities at Bath; in 1804, Gloucester Antiquities. He wrote also for the Archæologia. He died in 1819.
