An American educator and lexicographer; born at New Britain, Conn., April 7, 1787; died there, March 24, 1858. He was professor of ancient languages at the University of North Carolina, 1822-28; edited the Religious Magazine with Jacob Abbott, whom he succeeded as principal of the Young Ladies' School in Boston; but his chief work was compiling classical text-books. He edited the well-known "Latin-English Lexicon" (1850), based on Freund; and "Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar" (with Solomon Stoddard; 65th ed. 1857) was for many years the leading one in America.
