(Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic boo...)
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

He was born on May 20, 1815 at Jamaica, Long Island, New York, United States, the son of Nathan Shelton, and Eliza Henrietta, eldest daughter of Frederick William and Mary (Dundas) Starman. On his father's side he was descended from Daniel Shelton who was in Stratford, Connecticut, as early as 1687.
He received his early education at the hands of Dr. Eigenbrodt and Professor Mulligan of Union Hall Academy, Jamaica, and graduated from the College of New Jersey in 1834. In the fall of 1844 he entered the General Theological Seminary, New York City, to prepare for the Protestant Episcopal ministry. He graduated June 25, 1847.
Shelton early wrote humorous sketches, but his first published work was The Trollopiad; or, Travelling Gentleman in America (1837).
In 1838 he became a regular contributor to the Knickerbocker, then edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark. To this journal over a period of years he sent a series of sketches known as "The Tinnecum Papers, " although they were not announced by that title.
He contributed to the same magazine essays on the Latin poems of Vincent Bourne (October 1844) and on the writings of Charles Lamb (June 1850), and to The Knickerbocker Gallery (1855), "Gentle Dove, an Indian Legend, " a tale of Christianized Indians.
In 1847 he was ordered deacon by the Rev. W. H. DeLancey, bishop of Western New York. He filled a temporary vacancy at Christ Church, Montpelier, Vermont, for a few months, then served St. John's Church, Huntington, Long Island, 1848-52, being ordained priest, December 3, 1848, by Bishop Whittingham. In 1852 he was appointed to Trinity Church, Fishkill, New York. Two years later he returned to Christ Church, Montpelier, as its rector, remaining until 1866, when he resigned. For about a year thereafter he was at St. Thomas's Church, East Somerville, Massachussets, and from 1869 to 1881 he was rector of St. Mark's Church, Carthage Landing, New York.
After his ordination, his literary work took a secondary place in his interests, but he continued to write essays somewhat in his earlier style, although more formal and moralistic in tone. Two collections of these were published: Up the River (1853), Peeps from a Belfry; or, The Parish Sketch Book (1855). It also contains an essay in appreciation of Jeremy Taylor.
Among his unpublished manuscripts at his death were translations of several of the dialogues of Plato. He died in 1881.
As a writer Frederick William Shelton received extravagant praise from his contemporaries for his famous works: Salander and the Dragon: A Romance of the Hartz Prison (1850), Up the River (1853), Peeps from a Belfry; or, The Parish Sketch Book (1855). His most popular work, that brought him world-wide recognition was The Crystalline, or, The Heiress of Fall Down Castle (1854), it was the first fairy tale with mildly Gothic trimmings.

As a clergyman he was much loved by his parishioners for his gentle character. He liked best a life of semiretirement, and seems to have devoted much of his time to miscellaneous reading and writing.
He married Rebecca, daughter of David S. and Isabella (Fletcher) Conkling, by whom he had six children, of whom only two sons survived him.
