Emblems of mortality representing, in upwards of fifty cuts, Death seizing all ranks and degrees of people : imitated from a painting in the cemetery of the Dominican church at Basil, in Switzerland : with an apostrophe to each, translated from the Latin and French, intended as well for the information of the curious, as the instruction and entertainment of youth : to which is prefixed a copious preface, containing an historical account of the above, and other paintings on this subject, now or lately existing in divers parts of Europe1789
With John Bewick
An history of the origin and establishment of Gothic architecture: comprehending also an account, from his own writings, of Cæsar Cæsarianus, the first professed commentator on Vitruvius, and of his translation of that author; an investigation of the principles and proportions of that style of architecture called the Gothic; and an inquiry into the mode of painting upon and staining glass, as practiced in the ecclesiastical structures of the middle ages.1813
An inquiry into the nature and history of Greek and Latin poetry: more particularly of the dramatic species: tending to ascertain the laws of comic metre in both those languages; to show, I. that poetical licences have no real existence, but are mere corruptions; II. that the verses of Plautus, Terence, Pindar, and Horace, are in many instances erroneously regulated; and to suggest a more rational and musical division of the verses.1817
