He achieved renown for his Bibliotheca Classica or Classical Dictionary containing a full Account of all the Proper Names mentioned in Ancient Authors, (Reading, November, 1788), which, edited by various later scholars, long remained a readable if not absolutely trustworthy reference book in mythology and classical history.

Reviews

[Gavin · Rating 4 out of 5]

An indispensable jumping off point for the classics.

[Kbord · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reference to classical literature, writings, life. All names and places, Greek and Roman. A handy reference book to keep on the shelf. (But not something to curl up with a blanket and read.)
