Laurence Hutton (1843 – June 10, 1904)[1] was an American essayist and critic.

Biography

Hutton was born in New York City and educated privately there. He was an inveterate traveler and for about 20 years spent his summers abroad. From about 1870 he contributed continually to periodicals. He was the dramatic critic of the New York Evening Mail from 1872 to 1874. From 1886 to 1898 he was the literary editor of Harper's Magazine. He was one of the organizers of the Authors' Club and of the International Copyright League, and was a member of the Players' Club, the Princeton Club, the Tiger Inn and the Nassau Club. An ardent collector of literary curiosities, his collections are of remarkable interest. In 1892 he received the degree of A.M. from Yale and in 1897 from Princeton.[2]

Hutton died of pneumonia in New York City in 1904.
