Frederick Adolphus Packard was born on September 26, 1794 in Marlboro, Massachussets, United States. His father was the Reverend Asa Packard, a descendant of Samuel Packard, who emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1638, settling in Hingham. His mother was Nancy Quincy, also of Puritan descent. For many years Asa Packard was pastor of the Congregational Church in Marlboro.
Frederick Adolphus Packard prepared for college under his uncle, Hezekiah Packard, father of Alpheus S. and Joseph Packard at Wiscasset, Maine, and graduated from Harvard in 1814 with honors. He then studied law at Northampton, Massachussets, and practised at Springfield from 1817 until 1829.
In 1819 Frederick Adolphus Packard became editor and proprietor of the Hampshire Federalist (later the Hampden Federalist), a weekly journal giving the news of the day as well as articles on literary, scientific, and religious subjects, it was a predecessor of the Springfield Republican. Shortly after his marriage in 1822, Frederick united with the First Congregational Church of Springfield, and at once became interested in the Sunday school. He was elected its superintendent in 1827, and in 1828 was sent as a delegate to the Fourth Anniversary of the Sunday School Union. During 1828 - 1829, Frederick Adolphus Packard was a member of the state legislature of Massachusetts. In the latter part of 1828 he was asked to become editorial secretary of the American Sunday School Union. Upon accepting the office, he moved to Philadelphia and until 1858 edited continuously all of the weekly and monthly periodicals of the Union, as well as all the books issued with its imprint. Certain unpleasant differences among the managers of the Union led to a suspension of his duties for a short time in 1858. Later, this opposition was withdrawn and he resumed his editorial work, continuing therein until the time of his death in 1867.
During his editorship, a lot of books were released. He was the author some of them. Though, owing to his unobtrusive disposition, he did not permit his name to appear on his books, a fact which makes it difficult to identify them. In 1837 the Sunday School Union prepared a "Select Library" of some 120 volumes for use in public schools. The following year Packard endeavored to get Horace Mann and the Massachusetts Board of Education to approve the introduction of these into the Massachusetts schools. Since, in the opinion of Mann, the books were patently sectarian, their admission was not sanctioned. As a result, Packard carried on for years in newspapers and magazines a persistent attack upon Mann and the Board for excluding orthodox religion from the system of public education.
Frederick Adolphus Packard was a director of Girard College for Orphans, and in July 1849 was elected to its presidency, which he declined. He was manager of the House of Refuge, and for twenty-one years editor of the Journal of Prison Discipline. He also wrote many articles on religious, educational, and other subjects. Among the magazines of the Sunday School Union which he edited was the Sunday School Journal and Advocate of Christian Religion and Youth's Penny Gazette, which later became the Child's World, the society's annual reports were also prepared by him. He died on November 11, 1867.
Frederick Adolphus Packard was a distinguished editor and author. He was best known as the editor of the publications of the American Sunday-School Union for nearly forty years. During the period of his editorship more than 2, 000 books passed through his hands. Between forty and fifty of these were written by him. As an author, Packard was famous for his books such as "The Union Bible Dictionary", "The Teacher Taught", "The Teacher Teaching", "The Rock, Life of Robert Owen".
