He also engraved some fine plates of birds from drawings by Casteels and Charles Collins. He engraved some of the vignettes and tail-pieces to the first edition of Voltaire's Henriade, published in London in 1728. Among his other works were Bathsheba’ after Sebastiano Conca; a set of views of Venice, engraved with L. P. Boitard after Canaletto; ‘A View of Stocks Market in 1738,’ and ‘A View of the Fountain in Temple Gardens,’ after Joseph Nichols; A View of Bethlehem Hospital, Moorfields, and portraits of Robert Nelson (1715), after Kneller, Ebenezer Pemberton (1727), and the Rev.
