Autor

John Lord (September 10, 1810 - December 15, 1894) was a professor and historian from the United States. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1833 and then entered the Andover Theological Seminary, where in his second year he produced a series of lectures on the Dark Ages, which he presented the following fall during a trip through northern New York. He joined the American Peace Society after graduating from Andover. He was summoned to a Congregational Church in New Marlborough, Massachusetts, and subsequently to one in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, despite not being ordained. In 1840, he resigned from his pastoral duties to become a public lecturer and devote more attention to literary pursuits. In 1843-46, he lectured about the Middle Ages in England, and upon his return to the United States, he lectured for many years in the major towns and cities, giving almost 6,000 lectures in total. He obtained his LL.D. from the City University of New York in 1864. He taught history at Dartmouth College from 1866 to 1876.
