(1824), part ii. (1827), part iii. (1830), part iv. (1841), _Fasti Romani, Civil and Literary Chronology of Rome and Constantinople_, vol. i. (1850), vol. ii. (1851), _An Epitome of the Civil and Literary Chronology of Greece_ (1851), the same for Rome (1853). He also wrote a tragedy, _Solyman_, which was a failure.
