Born in Cedar Hill, New Haven, Connecticut, he graduated from Yale, ministered for twenty years in Fairfield, Connecticut, and became a prolific writer and contributor to The Princeton Review. Throughout his life he remained deeply involved in Presbyterian scholarship and church affairs, and was honored with an LL.D. from Yale in 1871.
