Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LORD, JOHN (1810-1894) , American historical writer and lecturer, was born in Portsmouth, New
Hampshire
 , on the 27th of December 181o. He was the nephew of Nathan Lord (1792187o), president of Dartmouth College from 1828 to 1863. He graduated at Dartmouth in 1833, and at Andover Theological
Seminary
  in 1837. His course at the
Seminary
  was interrupted by a period of teachingat Windham, Connecticut (1834), and at Norwich (18341835)and by a tour in 1836 through New
York
  and
Ohio
 , in which he lectured on the dark ages. He was agent and lecturer for the American Peace Society (1837-1839), and for a brief time was a Congregational pastor in turn at New Marlboro and West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and at Utica, New
York
 . About 184o he became a professional lecturer on history. He lectured extensively for fifty years, especially in the United States and
Great
  Britain, and introduced, with success, the mid-day lecture. He was lecturer on history in Dartmouth from 1869 to 1876. He received, in 1864, the degree of LL.D. from the University of the City of New York. From 1854 he made his home in Stamford, Connecticut, where he died on the 15th of December 1894. His works include, besides several school and college histories, The Old Roman
States and Empires (1869); Two German Giants: Frederick the
Great
  and Bismarck (1885); and Beacon Lights of History
(8 vols., 18841896), his
chief
  contribution to historical
literature.
See The Life of John Lord (1896) by Rev. Alexander S. Twombley, D. D. (in " Beacon Lights of History "), which is based chiefly upon Lord's Reminiscences of Fifty Years in the Lecture Field.
