Scholars acknowledge him as the author of at least two other books: The Attorney's Pocket Companion, first published in 1733,[1] and Quare Impedit, originally produced in 1737.[2] He most likely is also the John Mallory who wrote Objections Humbly Offer'd Against Passing the Bill, Intitled, A Bill For the More Easy and Speedy Recovery of Small Debts, into a Law in 1730.[3]

Arranged under alphabetical headings, Modern Entries in English "aimed at three things: to give a collection of precedents of pleading, to give information as to the law of procedure and pleadings, and to give an abridgment of pleading and practice cases."[4]
