An American novelist and journalist, son of Nathaniel; born in Boston, June 22, 1846. His boyhood was passed in Europe, his youth in New England. Upon leaving Harvard he studied civil engineering in Dresden, but took to authorship almost in spite of himself. His success was not rapid, but popular favor has been accorded to the novels "Idolatry", "Fortune's Fool", "Sinfire", "Beatrix Randolph", and "Garth". As a journalist he has traveled widely in prosecution of his work, his latest task being a study on the spot of the horrors of the Indian famine plague of 1896-97.
