"PRICE COLLIER (1860-1913), American writer, was born at Davenport, Iowa, May 25 1860. He lived, while a boy, in Switzerland and England. After studying at Leipzig and at the Harvard Divinity School (B.D. 1882) he became a Unitarian clergyman, but retired from the ministry in 1891. He is best known for his clever sketches of national character in America and the Americans from the French Point of View (1896); England and the English from an American Point of View (1909); The West in the East from an American Point of View (1911) and Germany and the Germans from an American Point of View (1913). He died on the island of Fiinen, in the Baltic Sea, Nov. 3 1913.
