Questo studioso inglese è noto soprattutto per la sua raccolta di concisi schizzi biografici, che offrono uno sguardo affascinante sulle vite e le opere dei suoi contemporanei. Fu una figura pionieristica sia nell'archeologia che nel folklore, registrando diligentemente monumenti storici e usanze locali, contribuendo così alla conservazione di preziose conoscenze. Le sue ricerche si estesero allo studio della toponomastica inglese e a progetti storici incompiuti, dimostrando i suoi ampi interessi accademici. Contemporaneo di scienziati di spicco, il suo lavoro riflette la curiosità di un polimata per il mondo.
