He contributed a number of articles on this subject to the Galway Vindicator and between 1869 and 1871. His only full-length published work, , was published in 1872 by McGlashran & Gill. It was an account of the Williamite War in Ireland from the perspective of Galwegians, many of them historical - Sir Roger O'Shaughnessy - including some of his ancestors. Some ten other works attributed to him in The Irish Chieftains have never been published nor traced, appearing to have disappeared sometime after his death. He was a grand-nephew of the last Warden of Galway, Edmund Ffrench. (en)
