He was born in Ormskirk, Lancashire and moved to London after completing his studies, gaining a doctorate from Aberdeen University in 1822. He was a contributor and possibly an editor of The Gentleman's Magazine between 1820 and 1837.[1][2] From 1825 his editions of Latin authors were published. In 1839 he became a partner in a printing business, producing classics, educational reference books, anti-Catholic apologetics,[3] and revised editions of older dictionaries such as Walker's and Johnson's. In 1840 he petitioned Parliament against the Copyright Bill.[4] In 1863 Nuttall's Standard Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language was published.

Subsequently, Frederick Warne & Co published further dictionaries under his name as late as 1973,[5] and The Nuttall Encyclopædia in 1900[6] (revised up to 1956[ Less
