His meticulous research and unwavering commitment to fact-driven history allowed him to produce comprehensive works that significantly impacted historical scholarship. His magnum opus, 'A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages' (1888), is a seminal work in three volumes that exhaustively details the operational mechanics, societal influence, and far-reaching impacts of the Inquisition. His treatment of the subject is notable for its rigor and objectivity, drawing upon an extensive array of original sources. His other significant works include 'Superstition and Force' (1866), 'Studies in Church History' (1869), 'The Moriscos of Spain' (1901), and 'The Inquisition in the Spanish Dependencies' (1907), all of which underscore his mastery over the narrative of religious and legal institutions of the past.
