About the author
Samuel Phillips Day was a British writer who lived from 1833 to 1916. The surviving catalog and library records linked to his name show an author with broad interests rather than a single specialty.
His works include Juvenile Crime: Its Causes, Character, and Cure (1858), Down South; or, An Englishman's Experience at the Seat of the American War (1862), English America (1864), Tea, Its Mystery and History (1878), and Life and Society in America (1880). He also produced simplified retellings such as Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress in Words of One Syllable, suggesting he wrote both for general readers and for younger audiences.
Taken together, those titles suggest a writer drawn to public life, travel, reform, and everyday culture. He is remembered today mainly through reprints, public-domain editions, and audiobook recordings of works like Tea, Its Mystery and History.
