Carson's inaugural essay at Edinburgh was De Viribus quibus Sanguis circumvehitur (1799).
An early paper was "On the Elasticity of the Lungs" (Philosophical Transactions cx.
29–44).
In later development of ideas in it, Carson attempted a surgical treatment for tuberculosis, introducing the principle of the collapse of the lung, though he was not able to show a successful practical outcome.

Some angry pamphleteering followed the Angus case, and Carson defended himself in Remarks on a late Publication entitled "A Vindication of the Opinions delivered in Evidence by the Medical Witnesses for the Crown on a late Trial at Lancaster," Liverpool, 1808.
Other writings were:
Reasons for colonizing the Island of Newfoundland, 1813.

A Letter to the Members of Parliament on the Address of the Inhabitants of Newfoundland to the Prince Regent, 1813.

An Enquiry into the Causes of the Motion of the Blood, Liverpool, 1815 (second and enlarged edition under the title of An Inquiry into the Causes of Respiration, London, 1833).

A New Method of slaughtering Animals for Human Food, London, 1839.
