Excerpt from The American Journal of Education, 1861, Vol. 10 Tnsonoas lyman, a munificent benefactor of reformatory educa tion in Massachusetts, was born in Boston on the 2oth day of F ebru ary, 1792, the son of a successful merchant, and therefore in circum stances favorable for the formation and development of a manly character, under the influence of practical views, and liberal instruo tion. He was educated at Phillips' Exeter Academy, and Harvard College, and was graduated at the latter institution in 1810. In 1812 he went abroad, and traveled in Europe for about four years, a part of the time in company with Hon. Edward Everett, visiting all' the great centers of interest, including Greece, Egypt, and Palestine. He was in Paris when the allied armies entered that city, and of the stirring incidents of that period he has given an account in a volume entitled Three iveek's in Paris. The fruits of his foreign travels and suggested studies, were subsequently embodied in an octavo volume on Italy, and two volumes on the Diplomacy of the United States with Foreign N'atz'ons - both of which were favorably received by the public.
