Among the more important of his later writings were the articles on Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, contributed to the eighth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, and afterwards reprinted with additions under the title of The Fathers of Greek Philosophy (Edinburgh, 1862).
Besides this he wrote Sermons on Genesis, Family Prayers, First Revelations of God to Man (Sermons), and a Letter to the Bishop on Diocesan Education, 1850, with one or two occasional sermons.
