Rossiter Johnson (1840-1931) was an American author and editor. He edited several encyclopedias, dictionaries, and books, and was one of the first editors to publish "pocket" editions of the classics. He was also an author of histories, novels, and poetry. Among his best-known works was Phaeton Rogers, a novel of boyhood in Rochester, New York, where Johnson was born. Johnson received his early education in common schools, and graduated from the University of Rochester in 1863. He later received the honorary degrees of Ph.D. and LL.D. from the University of Rochester.
