Rh (外集), 5 chüan. Most of these notes had been written in collaboration with other bibliophiles, among them. Being interested in the history and people of his native place, he compiled an anthology of poems by writers of Yangchow, entitled 淮海英靈集 Huai-hai ying-ling chi, in 7 series, printed in 1798; and another anthology of the poets of Kiangsu, entitled 江蘇詩徵 Chiang-su shih-chêng, 183 chüan, printed in 1821. As a result of his study of the poets of Yangchow he brought together miscellaneous notes on the history and the people of the locality, entitled 廣陵詩事 Kuang-ling shih-shih, 10 chüan, printed in 1801.

Juan Yüan's interest in mathematics helped to revive the study of ancient Chinese mathematics and led to the recovery of works in that field which had been neglected for centuries (see under ). Juan's own contribution to the study of this subject was his 疇人傳 Ch'ou-jên chuan, 46 chüan, containing biographies and summaries of the works of 280 astronomers and mathematicians, among them thirty-seven Europeans. This work, printed in 1799, was begun in 1797 with the help of, , , and others. It was reprinted in 1840 in 52 chüan. The additional 6 chüan, also known separately as Hsü (續) Ch'ou-jên chuan, were written by his disciple,. Another supplement added by Chu K'o-pao 諸可寶, and entitled Ch'ou-jên chuan san-pien (三編), 7 chüan, was printed in 1886. A fourth supplement in 11 chüan was written in 1898 by Huang Chung-chun 黃鍾駿.

Mention has already been made of Juan Yüan's interest in inscriptions on stone and bronze, and other antiques. His work on the inscriptions on ancient bronzes, entitled 積古齋鐘鼎彝器款識法帖 Chi-ku chai chung-ting i-ch'i k'uan-chih fa-t'ieh, 10 chüan, was printed in 1804. He also made a study of the inscriptions on stone of the Yen-hsi 廷熹 period (158–167 A.D.), entitled 漢廷熹西嶽華山碑考 Han Yen-hsi Hsi-yüeh Hua-shan pei k'ao, 4 chüan, printed in 1813—a careful and scholarly work. There is a list showing 64 ancient bronzes in Juan's collection, but actually he once possessed more than 460 items. Juan Yüan was interested in the art of cutting marbles of different shades to represent paintings—a device known as Shih-hua 石畫, or "pictures in stone." He left a work describing "pictures" of this kind in his possession, entitled Shih-hua chi (記) 5 chüan, printed in the Hsüeh-hai t'ang ts'ung-k'o (see above).

Fourteen of Juan Yüan's works were printed in his collectanea, 文選樓叢書 Wên-hsüan-lou ts'ung-shu which contains about thirty works printed from about 1790 to 1840. In this collectanea he printed a number of works by his friends or relatives, such as Chiao Hsün, Ch'ien Ta-hsin, and Ling T'ing-k'an. It includes a collection of miscellaneous notes, entitled 瀛舟筆談 Ying-chou pi-t'an, 12 chüan, written by his cousin, Juan Hêng 阮亭, and printed in 1820. In this collectanea there are two works by Juan Yüan's son, Juan Fu 阮福, namely, the 小琅嬛叢記 Hsiao-lang hsüan ts'ung-chi, printed in 1828 and the 孝經義疏補 Hsiao-ching i-shu pu, 9 chüan, printed in 1829. Included in the same collectanea is a work on the Classics, by the Japanese scholar, Yamanoi Tei 山井鼎, entitled 七經孟子考文補遺 Ch'i-ching Mêng-tzŭ k'ao-wu pu-i, 200 chüan, first printed in 1731. Juan Yüan reproduced it in 1797.

Juan Yüan's second wife, K'ung Lu-hua 孔璐華, was a descendant of Confucius in the seventy-third generation and the granddaughter of K'ung Chao-huan 孔昭煥 , the sixth Duke Yen-shêng (衍聖公) of the Ch'ing period. She left a collection of verse, entitled 唐宋舊經樓詩 T'ang Sung chiu-ching lou shih, 6 chüan. Juan Yüan had three sons. In addition he had an adopted son, named Juan Ch'ang-shêng 阮常生, who served as intendant of the Ch'ing-ho (Paoting) Circuit in Chihli.
