Mason  wrote a number of very popular Christian books, and was twice briefly editor of The Gospel Magazine, immediately before and immediately after Augustus Montague Toplady. In this devotional literature, "readers will find heartwarming, biblical reflections". Mason’s aim was to “exalt the Lord Jesus, the perfection of His atonement and righteousness, and the glory of His salvation.” Not in Bondy, nor Spielmann.
