About the author

John Frost graduated from Harvard in 1822. He was principal of Mayhew School in Boston and conducted a school for young ladies in Philadelphia until 1838, when he was appointed professor of English literature in the central high school of that city. He resigned this post in 1845, and devoted himself to the compilation of histories and biographies, of which, assisted by a corps of writers, he published over 300. Marietta College, Ohio, gave him the degree of LL.D. in 1843.
