ABBOTT, JOHN STEVENS CABOT (1805-1877)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 26 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABBOTT, JOHN STEVENS CABOT (1805-1877) , American writer, was born in Brunswick, Maine, on the 18th of September 18o5. He was a brother of Jacob Abbott, and was associated with him in the management of Abbott's Institute, New
York
  City, and in the preparation of his
series
  of brief historical biographies. He is best known, however, as the author of a partisan and unscholarly, but widely popular and very readable History of
Napoleon
  Bonaparte (1855), in which the various elements and episodes in
Napoleon
 's career are treated with some skill in arrangement, but with unfailing adulation. Dr Abbott graduated at Bowdoin College in 1825, prepared for the ministry at Andover Theological Seminary, and between 183o and 1844, when he retired from the ministry, preached successively at Worcester, Roxbury and Nantucket, Massachusetts. He died at
Fair
  Haven, Connecticut, on the 17th of June 1877. He was a voluminous writer of books on Christian ethics, and of histories, which now seem unscholarly and untrustworthy, but were valuable in their time in cultivating a popular
interest
  in history. In general, except that he did not write juvenile fiction, his
work
  ih subject and style closely resembles that of his brother, Jacob Abbott.
