Lindley Murray (1745-1826) was an American grammarian and author, renowned for his influential works on English grammar and composition. Born in Harper Tavern, Pennsylvania, Murray initially pursued a career in law, practicing in New York. However, due to health issues, he relocated to England in 1784, where he dedicated himself to literary pursuits. Murray's most notable contribution to the field of education is his "English Grammar," first published in 1795. This work became a cornerstone in the teaching of English, widely adopted in schools across the United States and the United Kingdom. His clear and systematic approach to grammar instruction earned him the title of the "father of English grammar."

Murray's influence extended beyond grammar; he authored several other educational texts, including "English Exercises" and "The English Reader," which were designed to complement his grammar book. These works emphasized moral and religious themes, reflecting Murray's Quaker beliefs. His educational philosophy was rooted in the idea that language instruction should not only impart technical knowledge but also promote ethical and virtuous behavior.

The engraving of Lindley Murray by Stephen Henry Gimber (fl. c. 1806-d. 1862) captures the esteemed grammarian's likeness. Gimber, an accomplished engraver of the 19th century, was known for his detailed and expressive portraits. The engraving by Gimber, based on an original work by E. Westoby, serves as a visual testament to Murray's enduring legacy in the realm of education and literature. This portrait is a valuable historical artifact, offering insight into the appearance and persona of a man whose works shaped the study of the English language for generations.
