Edwin Abbott was born on 20th of December 1838; he was an English schoolmaster and theologian. He completed his schooling in the City of London School. At St John's College , Cambridge , he took the highest honors in the classical, mathematical and theological triposes. After earning masterships at King Edward's School, Birmingham , and at Clifton College , at the early age of twenty-six he became the headmaster of the City of London School in 1865. His brother, Evelyn Abbott was a well-known professor of Balliol, Oxford , and also author of a scholarly History of Greece .
In 1889 he retired and dedicated himself to literary and theological pursuits. Dr Abbott's likings in theology were prominent in both of his educational views and in his books. Abbott's Shakespearian Grammar in 1870 is a permanent contribution to English philology.
