Jacob Abbot Cummings was born in Hollis, New Hampshire in 1773 and attended Harvard University, class of 1801.
As a bookseller and publisher, his business partners included William Andrews (Andrews & Cummings, 1807–1809) and William Hilliard (Cummings & Hilliard, 1812–1820).
Cummings "kept a school for both girls and boys" in Boston. He "seems to have been ahead of his time in both the style and content of his teaching. ... He wrote a textbook, An Introduction to Ancient and Modern Geography, giving something of his pedagogical philosophy in the preface. 'It will not be profitable to confine the young mind long to any one part of the earth. ... No small injury is frequently done to young persons, by attempting to make them perfect in what they the first time commit to memory, especially if it be somewhat difficult.'"
After his death in 1820, Cummings' "private library" was auctioned at the office of Blake & Cunningham on Kilby Street in Boston.
