About the author
George Searle Phillips was an English writer associated with the pseudonym January Searle. Sources found during this search describe him as born in Peterborough and note that he studied at Cambridge before spending time in New York working as a journalist.
After returning to England, he was connected with the Leeds Times and later with the People's College in Huddersfield. His career seems to have ranged widely across editing, lecturing, and literary work, which helps explain the variety of books linked to his name.
He is now chiefly known for works such as Memoirs of William Wordsworth and A Guide to Peterborough Cathedral. I found references that give his lifespan as 1815–1889, though one source listed 1816 as his birth year, so the exact year of birth appears to vary across records.
