Herbert Tuttle was born on November 29, 1846 in Bennington, Vt. , the son of Charles J. Tuttle and Evaline (Boynton) Tuttle. In 1853 the family moved to Hoosick Falls, N. Y.
As a student in the University of Vermont, from which he was graduated in 1869, Tuttle attracted the attention of President James B. Angell, his first teacher of history, who noted the orderliness of his mind and his keen interest in the growth of political institutions.
Tuttle desired to make journalism his profession, and President Angell aided him in securing a position on the Boston Daily Advertiser, which he held nearly two years, for a time acting as Washington correspondent.
Still richer opportunities for observation came in October 1871, when he began a long residence in Europe, at first as special correspondent of the Advertiser in Paris, and from 1873 to 1879 as Berlin correspondent of the London Daily News.
In 1872 he reported the proceedings of the Court of Alabama Claims at Geneva for the New York Tribune, and it was probably upon the recommendation of George W. Smalley, London correspondent of the Tribune, that the great London daily offered this young American of twenty-six so important a post as Berlin. Tuttle had not been in Berlin long before he conceived the idea of writing a history which should show the relation of the earlier Prussia, and especially the work of Frederick the Great, to the triumphant Prussia and Germany of the seventies. He had discovered "how inadequate was Carlyle's account of the working system of the Prussian government".
When Andrew D. White went to Berlin in 1879 as American minister, he encouraged Tuttle's project and suggested an academic career. President Angell, now at the University of Michigan, gave him his first appointment, inviting him to lecture on international law (1880 - 81) during his own absence in China.
In the fall of 1881 White, as president of Cornell University, gave him a similar appointment, and until 1883 he divided his time between Michigan and Cornell.
In 1883 he was made associate professor at Cornell. In 1887 he was promoted to a full professorship, with the history of political institutions added to his title.
In 1890 he was made professor in his chosen field, modern European history. While he was still in Berlin he had published a volume of essays on German Political Leaders (New York, 1876).
His students remembered him as incisive and judicial, with a horror of exaggeration or inaccuracy. His comments were occasionally touched by a sub-acid wit. He had little sympathy with the more radical plans of departmental organization, and when, upon the recommendation of President Charles Kendall Adams, the trustees of the university created "The President White School of History and Political Science, " in recognition of White's gift of his noble library, Tuttle so vigorously opposed the appointment of a dean of the School that the plan was not fully carried through.
The first volume of his History of Prussia (dated 1884) appeared late in 1883, an introduction covering the period from 1134 to 1740. Of the five planned (an introduction and four volumes on Frederick the Great), Tuttle lived to complete only the introduction, two volumes on Frederick (1888), and part of a third (1896).
His History of Prussia is based upon documentary collections, edited mainly by German scholars, and upon monographs published since Carlyle wrote. His career as a teacher was equally significant.
His health broke down in 1893, and he died in Ithaca on June 21, 1894.
