His narrative poems entitled "Cserhalom", and "The Enchanted Valley", established his reputation as the first Hungarian poet of his time. He was a contributor to Kisfaludy's Aurora, and was for several years editor of a journal called The Repository of Science. In 1830 he published a patriotic lyric entitled "The Appeal", for which he received from the Hungarian Academy a ducat a line.
