Giving his attention more especially to brain diseases, he first assisted a physician, who devoted his attention to the insane, at Dunstable; and they erected a large Asylum at St. Albans.

His poetical works were published posthumously:— Various Pieces in Verse and Prose, 2 vols., Lond., Dodsley, 1791; and Visions in Verse, &c, with Memoir, 1808. His hymns came into use through Collyer's Collection, 1812.
They are:—
1. Amid the various scenes of ill. Affliction Sanctified. From Various Pieces, &c, 1791.
2. Tell me, my soul, O tell me why. Sin the cause of fear. From Various Pieces, &c, 1791.
3. This is the day the Lord of Life. Sunday. From Various Pieces, &c, 1791.
4. While sorrow wrings my bleeding heart. Suffering. From his version of Ps. xiii., "Offended Majesty, how long ?" in the Christian's Magazine, Feb. 1761.
