==Biography==
Born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to the Rev. Joseph Buckminster,〔''Memoirs of Rev. Joseph Buckminster, D. D., and of his son, Rev. Joseph Stevens Buckminster'' 1849. W. Crosby & H. P. Nichols, Boston, Publishers. p.458.〕 Buckminster was a precocious child. He learned Latin and the Greek New Testament at age four, entered Harvard College at 13, and graduated in 1800 at age 16 with both bachelor's and master's degrees. Upon his graduation, he spent two years as an instructor at Phillips Exeter Academy.〔''Dictionary of American Biography'', Vol. II (NY: C. Scribner's and Sons, 1958), p. 233.〕 In 1805 he became minister of the Brattle Street Church in Boston, and quickly launched an almost legendary career of eloquent preaching, biblical scholarship, and literary production which set the tone for the pattern of the minister as a man of letters.
During 1806-07 he traveled through Europe and collected a library of 3000 volumes that would become the foundation of the library of the Boston Athenæum.〔Harvard University Library, Online Archival Search Information System, Biographical Note, HUC 8799.386.10〕 He was the most brilliant member of the Anthology Club, an early editor of the Monthly Anthology, and in 1811 was appointed Dexter Lecturer at Harvard where he occupied the first Chair in Scripture.
Buckminster died on June 10, 1812 〔 from epilepsy.
