His books include ''British Policy in the South Pacific, 1796-1893'' (reprinted three times); 'Earl Grey and the Australian Colonies, 1847-1856''; ''Colonial Self-Government, the British Experience, 1759-1856''; and ''James Macarthur, Colonial Conservative, 1798-1867'', the latter being the first in a trilogy on conservatism in Australia.
