Daniel Wise, Jr. was born on January 10, 1813, in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, the son of Daniel and Mary Wise.
His formal education was received in the grammar school of Portsmouth, and in a classical school of which officials of Christ Church, Oxford, were the patrons. After leaving school he was apprenticed to a grocer, but soon opened an academy in Portsmouth.
In 1833, he emigrated to the United States and went to Grafton County, New Hampshire, where he taught school. Having been converted under Methodist influences in England, in 1834, at Lisbon, New Hampshire, he was made a local preacher by the quarterly conference of the Landaff Circuit. His gifts as a writer and speaker were at once recognized and in addition to preaching he lectured frequently, especially in behalf of the anti-slavery cause. Removing to Massachusetts in 1837, he supplied churches at Hingham and Quincy and was employed by anti-slavery societies. Always literary in his tastes, he also edited the Sunday School Messenger (1838 - 1844), said to have been the first Methodist publication of its kind, and the Ladies' Pearl (1840 - 1843), a monthly magazine for the edification of women. In 1840 he was received into the New England Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church on trial, but was not ordained elder until 1843. Meanwhile, he served churches in Ipswich, Lowell, and Springfield. When in 1843 a considerable number of Methodists withdrew from the Church and formed the Wesleyan Connection, a non-episcopal and anti-slavery denomination, Wise, Jr. was inclined to join them, and in 1844 was without pastoral charge. Finally deciding to remain in the Methodist Episcopal fold, he became, in 1845, a member of the Providence Conference. During the next twelve years he was pastor at Nantucket, Massachusetts, Hope Street Church, Providence, Rhode Island, and Fall River and New Bedford, Massachusetts. His literary abilities and his reputation as a keen controversialist led to his appointment in 1852 as editor of Zion's Herald. Through this publication he gave strong support to those who favored the exclusion of all slaveholders from the Methodist Church. In 1856 the General Conference elected him corresponding secretary of the Sunday School Union and editor of its publications. This position he occupied for sixteen years, after 1860 also serving the Tract Society in the same capacities. A partial failure of voice compelled him to curtail public speaking and after 1872 he made his home in Englewood, New Jersey, and devoted himself principally to writing. For a few months in 1887- 1888 he was editor of the Methodist Review. His books, published over a long period, were numerous and included religious works, biographies, and stories for young people, many of the last named appearing under the pseudonyms Lawrence Lancewood and Francis Forrester. Among his earlier productions were The Path of Life: or, Sketches of the Way to Glory and Immortality (1848); The Young Lady's Counsellor (1852), outlining the sphere and duties of young women and the dangers that beset them; and Popular Objections to Methodism, Considered and Answered (1856). His biographical writings include Uncrowned Kings (1875), stories of men who rose from obscurity to renown; Heroic Methodists of the Olden Times (1882); and a series of brief sketches of English and American literary figures, including among others, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Addison, Carlyle, Wordsworth, Longfellow, and Irving. These sketches all appeared in 1883. Wise, Jr. was most widely known perhaps for his tales for young people, written with a moral and religious purpose. Their character is suggested by such titles as Dick Duncan: The Story of a Boy Who Loved Mischief (1860); Jessie Carlton: The Story of a Girl Who Fought with Little Impulse the Wizard (1861); and Stephen and His Tempter (1873). Many of these tales appeared under the serial titles "Glen Morris Stories, " "The Lindendale Stories, " and "The Windwood Cliff Series. " He died on December 19, 1898, in Englewood, New Jersey.
