+He was graduated from Yale College, 1857, and soon after became connected with
+//The New York Times,// where he was promoted to more and more responsible
+positions. He was for a time the literary editor. His capacity for labor was
+prodigious, and he could sit down at any hour of the day or night and write a
+paragraph or an article on any topic. At the same time, he was correspondent of
+four English journals, and did much to influence British opinion during the
+Civil War.
+In 1868, Mr. Charles Scribner offered Mr. Seymour a position in his publishing
+bouse, and be became a partner of the house after Mr. Scribner's death. He had
+charge of its literary business, such as passing on manuscripts and dealing with
+authors, a labor for which his tact and gentleness well fitted him. Though his
+name did not always appear, many excellent articles in Scribner's Magazine and
+elsewhere were from his pen. "All who knew him not only respected him for his
+talents, but loved him for his beautiful character." He was modest and
+unobtrusive; and deeply religious. His father was a Presbyterian minister; his
+father-in-law was Rev. Dr. Sherwood, of the Presbyterian and Princeton Review.
