Works
Rees made a collection of the literature of antitrinitarian opinion, especially during the 16th century. His intention, announced by 1833, of publishing a comprehensive work, was never fulfilled; the Antitrinitarian Biography by Robert Wallace appeared in 1850.
Rees published, besides single sermons (1804–46):
- The Beauties of South Wales, 1815 (see Edward Wedlake Brayley).
- The Racovian Catechism in Latin translation; with a prefixed Sketch of the History of Unitarianism in Poland, 1818.
- A Sketch of the History of the Regium Donum, 1834.
His historical papers included:
- Faustus Socinus and Francis David in the Monthly Repository (as were the next three), 1818;
- On the Sentiments of the Early Continental Reformers respecting Religious Liberty (1819);
- Italian Reformation (1822);
- Memoirs of the Socini (1827); and
- Calvin and Servetus, in the Christian Reformer, 1847.
Rees left in manuscript The Anti-papal Reformers of Italy in the Sixteenth Century, with a Glance at their Forerunners, the Sectaries of the Middle Ages, in six volumes; also a manuscript translation, with notes, of Orelli's Life of Lælius Socinus. His promised memoir of Abraham Rees never appeared.

Even where horrible green parrots call and swing.
My works are all stamped down into the sultry mud.”
