Sir John E. Eardley-Wilmot wrote a number of works, including a work in Latin in 1829, and in 1853, an update of his father's "Abridgement of Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England". He also wrote, in 1860, an analytical review of Lord Brougham's Law Reforms, in which he listed "no less than forty Statutes which he has initiated and carried through Parliament, besides upwards of fifty Bills introduced by him at various periods. Great portions of the latter have formed the basis of Legislation, and have been incorporated into other Acts", with others remaining unadopted at that time.
