to John Rowe (1764–1832). In fact, while Joyce had been a popular preacher with some Unitarian congregations after his release, he had become somewhat of an embarrassment. Rowe's congregation at Shrewsbury would not accept him in 1799. In 1801, Joyce was linked to William Winterbotham in a pamphlet by "The Enquirer" (William Atkinson). In later life he lived in Holly Terrace, Highgate, and succeeded Rochemont Barbauld as minister of a small Unitarian congregation at Rosslyn Hill. In 1799 Joyce took up a position as tutor to the sons of Benjamin Travers the elder (1752–1818), treasurer to the Gravel Pit Chapel and father of Benjamin Travers, a grocer in the sugar trade. He was in business with William Smith, who was an SCI member. The firm, later known as Joseph Travers & Sons, was then trading as Smith, Travers & Kemble. For many years, Joyce was the secretary of the Unitarian Society. At the end of Lindsey's life, Joyce was close to him. When Lindsey died in 1808, Joyce wrote an anonymous obituary, the "Brief account" in The Monthly Magazine; and took the lead from William Frend's obituary, which concentrated on Lindsey's religious involvement, to burn much of Lindsey's political correspondence, particular that dealing with the American revolution. Works Joyce wrote a number of popular educational works on science and mathematics. He also contributed articles to Rees's Cyclopædia (1802–1819). As editor A Narrative of the Sufferings of T. F. Palmer and W. Skirving, During a Voyage to New South Wales, 1794, on Board the Surprize Transport. Joyce prepared this work on the Scottish Martyrs from a manuscript by Thomas Fyshe Palmer brought from New South Wales by John White. Muir, Palmer and Skirving had serious criticisms of Capt. Patrick Campbell of the Surprize, but also of Margarot, included by Joyce in his introduction. Joyce was largely responsible for the editing of two rival encyclopedic works bearing the names of others, George Gregory's Dictionary of Arts and Sciences (from 1803) and as managing editor of William Nicholson's British Encyclopedia, or Dictionary of Arts and Sciences (1809). These works shared a substantial portion of their texts. Instructional Scientific Dialogues (1800, 2 vols.) Later editions, from 1807, in 7 vols. System of Practical Arithmetic (1808) A Familiar Introduction to the Arts and Sciences for the Use of Schools and Young Persons (1810) Systematic Education (1816) was a collaboration with Lant Carpenter and William Shepherd.
