Excerpt from Antony Brade The house is somewhat impressive in the daytime by its size; and in the earlier hours of night glowing with bright light through a long row of Windows in the lower story, and here and there above. What may be called a lawn - for it is a good stretch of green, though broken by scattered trees and shrubs, and clumps of trees and shrubs - spreads outwards and downwards to the bank of the lake. About these school-buildings of St. Bart's there is a story, - a story not indeed so long as that of St. Martin's Church in the Strand, or University College, Oxford, or the Round Mill at Newport even, and yet a story which might, with pains enough taken, be worked up into romance.

Robert Traill Spence Lowell was born on October 8, 1816 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. He was the son of Reverend Charles Lowell, a distinguished Unitarian clergyman, minister of the West Church, and of Harriet Brackett Spence. The fifth in a family of six children, he was the older brother by three years of James Russell Lowell .
Lowell began his education at the Round Hill School in Northampton, Massachusetts, an institution founded by Joseph Green Cogswell, who had been a tutor at Harvard and also librarian of the college, and was thus favorably known to the Lowell family. Cogswell seems to have made a profound impression on his young pupil, who years later dedicated to him a book of poems with "love and reverence. " From Round Hill, Robert went to Harvard, where he graduated in 1833. He then went through a full course of medicine but, without taking a degree. Three years later, however, he decided to enter the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in which his mother had been reared, and went to Schenectady, New York, to study for holy orders under Dr. Alonzo Potter, who had been rector of St. Paul's Church in Boston. On the invitation of Bishop A. G. Spencer, young Lowell went in 1842 to Bermuda, where he was ordained deacon, and the next year was ordained priest.
Lowell was engaged for some time in mercantile pursuits with his brother. Later he was appointed domestic chaplain to the Bishop in Bermuda. Then he was transferred at his own request to Newfoundland, where he took a missionary post at Bay Roberts as representative of the English Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.
Shortly after his return to Newfoundland, he encountered a famine in which he suffered with his parishioners, and, broken in health, returned in 1847 to America after receiving the thanks of the Colonial Secretary. By appointment of Bishop G. W. Doane, he began a mission in a poor quarter of Newark, New Jersey, where he reestablished and rebuilt a neglected church. In 1859 he became rector of Christ Church, Duanesburg, New York In 1868 he was appointed professor of belles-lettres in Racine College, Wisconsin, but declined.
After ten years' work among the farming people of Duanesburg, he accepted in 1869 the headmastership of St. Mark's School, Southboro, Massachusetts. In 1873 he was made professor of Latin language and literature in Union College, Schenectady, New York, and remained in this position until 1879.
His books were the product of his varied personal experiences. Thus, The New Priest in Conception Bay, a story which appeared in 1858, contained vivid pictures of Newfoundland. This book, an excellent piece of work, was published by Phillips, Sampson & Company just as the senior partner died and the firm went into bankruptcy. It thus had a poor start, and though republished years later never enjoyed the popularity and fame it merited. A book for boys, Antony Brade, a Story of a School (1874), grew out of Lowell's experiences as headmaster of St. Mark's. His life at Schenectady suggested A Story or Two from an Old Dutch Town (1878). He published also Fresh Hearts that Failed Three Thousand Years Ago, with Other Things (1860), a volume of Poems (1864), and occasional verses, short stories, sermons, and addresses.

Robert Lowell was a delicate, sensitive, strangely rarefied soul. In his missionary experiences, at home and abroad, he displayed something of that robust quality which was characteristic of his family, but he had mystic elements which were all his own.
On October 28, 1845 Lowell married Mary Ann (Marianna) Duane, of Duanesburg, New York, by whom he had seven children.
