His Chronicle describes the events of the period 1303-1356: Gaveston, Bannockburn, Boroughbridge, the murder of King Edward II, the Scottish Wars, Sluys, Crécy, the Black Death, Winchelsea and Poitiers.

The book provides remarkable detail about the events it describes. Baker's text has been augmented with hundreds of notes, including extracts from other contemporary chronicles, such as the Annales Londonienses, Annales Paulini, Murimuth, Lanercost, Avesbury, Guisborough and Froissart to enrich the reader's understanding.

The Athenaeum 1864. 14th May 1864. Mr. R. S. Stanhope (age 35) may be styled the youngest in the list of artists who establish themselves this: year. His Rispa (No. 33) is a very expressive and poetical representation of the well known theme of the daughter of Aiah watching the bodies of her sons and those of the sons of Michal, the daughter of Saul. The face of the woman is admirably conceived. Penelope (476), by the same, — wife of Ulysses at her loom, — has much execellent colour in its flesh; the treatment of the draperies, although rather thin, is original and careful. The face of the woman in blue does Mr. Stanhope great credit [?] in painting and conception. In these pictures the artist has been eminently successful with the backgrounds, not alone in the vigorous colour they exhibit, but in the pathetic and apt expressiveness which fits them to the subjects.
