He became lecturer in classical literature at King's College, London, in 1839, and after the removal of F. D. Maurice, in 1855, succeeded him as professor of the English language and literature and lecturer in modern history. He was also Maurice's successor as principal of the Workingmen's College. In 1877 he was appointed to the crown living of Toppes and devoted himself zealously to parochial work. His literary activity was at first that of a journalist, and he was for several years editor of the London Standard; but in 1856 he was commissioned to collect and edit the state papers of the reign of Henry VIII. for the Rolls series, and in this and similar tasks he found congenial employment during the rest of his life, his ample knowledge of the history of the Tudor period being combined with a special aptitude for minute research. His works include editions of Bishop Goodman's History of his Own Times, (1839,) Field's Book of the Church, vol. i., (1841,) Thorndike's Discourse of the Right of the Church in a Christian State, (1841,) and Fuller's Church History, (1845,) all of which are mentioned under the names of the respective authors in vols. i. and iii.

They do not profess to be a complete history of the period which they cover; . . but there can be 'but one opinion,' as Mr. Gairdner says, not only of the high value of these prefaces to the historical student, but also of their very great interest as literary compositions. The author was no mere learned Dryasdust, but with all his respect for facts and love of historical truth combined a bright and sympathetic imagination, which enabled him to present us with a vivid and interesting, as well as a trustworthy, picture of the times."- Sat.
