From 1856 to 1861 Bonney was mathematical master at Westminster school, and geology was pursued by him only as a recreation, mainly in Alpine regions.

In addition to many papers published in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society and Geological Magazine, he wrote several popular works on Alpine Regions, on English and Welsh scenery, as well as on theological subjects.
