Henry William Herbert

Henry William Herbert (April 7, 1807 – May 17, 1858), pen name Frank Forester, was an English novelist, poet, historian, illustrator, journalist and writer on sport.[1] Starr writes that "as a classical scholar he had few equals in the United Stats . . . his knowledge of English history and literature was extensive; he was a pen-and-ink artist of marked ability; as a sportsman he was unsurpassed; his pupils idolized him."[2]
