Besides these works, Wright prepared an accurate epitome in English of William Dugdale's Monasticon (London, 1693), in the dedication of which he remarks: "Warwickshire has produced two of the most famous and deserving writers in their several ways that England can boast of—a Dugdale and a Shakespeare." Anthony Wood cites a distich of an elegy written by Wright upon John Goad. Hearne, who respected Wright, having corresponded with him upon the subject of Leland, informs us that he wrote strictures upon Wood's Athenae, but never published them. From a manuscript entry by Hearne, dated 1719, in Dr. Rawlinson's copy of Wright's Ruins in St. Paul's Cathedral, it appears that Wright, a few years before his death, gave Hearne a complete catalogue of his works; and that upon a previous application he had at a former date refused this favour to Wood as being "an injudicious and partial biographer".cf. Hearne, Collections, iii. 372.
