He was graduated at Dartmouth in 1805, was a teacher in Newburyport, Massachusetts, in 1810'17, and afterward principal of the Adams grammar school, Boston, for many years. He was associated with his brother Frederick in the preparation of schoolbooks, and his spelling books, readers, and arithmetic became widely popular. He also published an "Academical Speaker" (Boston). According to the provisions of his will, the bulk of his property was given for religious and educational purposes.
