About the author

Frank Edgar Farley was an American author and editor born in 1868. Surviving catalog and library records connect him with works on English grammar and literary study, including collaborations with George Lyman Kittredge and editorial work on classic texts.

His books suggest a career centered on teaching: careful, structured, and meant for students rather than specialists alone. Titles associated with him include grammar manuals and editions of major English works, which points to a writer deeply involved in language instruction and classroom publishing.

Details of his personal life are not easy to confirm from the sources available here, so this overview stays close to what his publications clearly show: a late-19th- and early-20th-century literary scholar whose writing helped make English study more accessible.
