He was educated in a private school in Hemel Hempstead. In his sixteenth year, he was apprenticed to a drugstore and printer in Dorking. He demonstrated literary talent early on, and at the age of nineteen, he began writing for the Monthly Magazine. A year later, he was appointed secretary to the company's owner, Sir Richard Phillips, and decided to pursue a career in literature. He served as editor of the Mirror of Literature, the Harlequin, and The Literary World before becoming a sub-editor of the Illustrated London News.He also founded and served as the first editor of the Year-Book of Science and Art. His published works totaled around one hundred and fifty volumes. In 1834, he was made a fellow of the London Society of Antiquaries.
