Biography

F. W. Grant was born on 25 July 1834 in the Putney area of London. Educated at King's College School, London in the hope of eventual employment in the British War Office. When this course failed he emigrated to Canada initially joining and being ordained into the Anglican Church there. He moved again to the USA and New York, finding a final home in New Jersey. He became associated with a group of exclusive brethren which eventually became known as the Grant fellowship.

He published numerous books based on his scrptural studies and in 1880 "Help and Food" a monthly magazine was launched and edited by Grant until his death.

He died in Plainfield, New Jersey on the 25th July 1902 which coincidentally was his 68 birthday.
