| Editor and writer, born in London, UK. He spent much of his youth in Carmarthen and became a mining engineer. Abandoning this for a writing career in 1886, he was first a freelance, then on the staff of Walter Scott's publishing house, Constable's, for whom he edited the Camelot Classics series. He is best-remembered as editor of the Everyman Library of Classics, the first volume of the 983 published during his lifetime appearing in 1906. |
