In addition to his two books, Amory studied medicine, geology, and antiquities. His Memoirs, Containing Lives of Several Ladies of Great Britain(1755) describes the life of an imaginary woman he calls Mrs. Marinda Benlow. Although fictional, the text represents the only printed comments on the Prester John legend voiced by a woman.
