| 1798 | The Life of Ezra Stiles. A biography of the president of Yale and the author's father-in-law. Holmes, the father of writer Oliver Wendell Holmes, had great respect for his father-in-law; this highly laudatory biography has been called "a work of genuine worth and character." |
| 1826 | The Annals of America. A chronological collection of important facts and events, these annals are the first effort to create an organized, linear history of the country and represent a significant contribution to American historiography. A second edition would be published in 1829. |
