Having written a tragedy, A guire, which was highly praised by his See also:friends, he set out in 1823 for See also:London with the purpose of " revolutionizing the dramatic See also:taste of the time by See also:writing for the See also:stage." In spite of the recommendations of See also:John See also:Banim, he had a hard struggle with poverty. It was only by degrees that his See also:literary See also:work obtained any favour.

He also wrote a number of lyrics touched with his native See also:melancholy.
