After a brief pastoral charge at Stirling he devoted himself to literature; but, although his productions obtained a great popularity both in England and America, they brought him very little pecuniary return. Towards the close of his life a small pension was granted him in consideration of his literary services. He died at Broughty Ferry near Dundee, July 29, 1857. His principal works are The Christian Philosopher (1823): — The Philosophy of Religion (1825): — The Philosophy of a Future State (1828): — Celestial Scenery (1838): — The Sidereal Heavens (1840), and The Practical Astronomer (1845).
