Early life

Jacob Ralph Abarbanell was born to furrier Rudolph Abarbanell and his wife Rosalia. He married Cornelia L. Eaton, of Jersey City, on June 30, 1892. After graduating from City College in 1872 and Columbia Law in 1874, he practiced in the city.[2]

Literary career

While practicing law, he also wrote stories, articles, magazine serials, and plays throughout his life.

While some work and translations were published under his own name, he also used the pseudonyms 'Ralph Royal' and 'Paul Revere'. His best known works were the books The Model Pair (1881) and The Rector's Secret (1892), and the dramas Countess of Monte Cristo (1902) and The Heart of the People (1909). He also published translations of stories from French and German.[3][4]

gollark: Perhaps if I had something actually useful (and userfacing) I'd not do that, but meh.
gollark: My projects are all under MIT because I want people to be able to use and adapt them easily.
gollark: Since if you care about obeying copyright law, and are using it for anything other than personal projects you're not likely to share, you can't safely use it or you might randomly be denied access (again, if this is actually enforceable).
gollark: It's awful for anyone intending to actually use it.
