Abbott, Jacob

▪ American author
born Nov. 14, 1803, Hallowell, Maine, U.S.
died Oct. 31, 1879, Farmington, Maine

      American teacher and writer, best known for his many books for young readers.

      Abbott attended Hallowell Academy and Bowdoin College and studied at Andover Newton Theological School. After teaching at Amherst College, he moved in 1829 to Boston, where he founded and was the first principal of the Mount Vernon School, a secondary school for girls.

      Abbott was sole author of 180 books and coauthor or editor of 31 others, notably the “Rollo” series (28 vol.). To accompany the earlier books (Rollo at Work, Rollo at Play), Abbott wrote a volume for teachers, The Rollo Code of Morals; or, The Rules of Duty for Children, Arranged with Questions for the Use of Schools (1841). In following Rollo's world travels with his all-knowing Uncle George, the young reader could improve his knowledge of ethics, geography, science, and history. Abbott also wrote 22 volumes of biographical histories and the Franconia Stories (10 vol.).
