He was educated rather sporadically in England and at a Moravian school in Germany, and did not attend university. He worked as a reader for the publishers Chapman and Hall, in which capacity he rejected such authors as George Bernard Shaw and manuscripts such as Ellen Wood`s East Lynne, one of the best-selling novels of the Victorian period.
