In 1794, Austin published A Sermon on a Future State: Combating the Opinion that "Death is Eternal Sleep." American author Edgar Allan Poe (1844) described Austin’s sermon as "nearly, if not quite the best 'Essay on a Future State' " (584).

Austin's work would appear to be a direct descendent of John Bulwer’s book Chirologia, or, The natural language of the hand which, when it was published in 1644, also included Bulwer's work Chironomia; or, The art of manual rhetoricke.
