About the author

John Stephen Farmer (March 7, 1854 – January 18, 1916) also known as J. S. Farmer, was a British lexicographer, spiritualist and writer. He was most well known for his seven volume dictionary of slang.

Farmer was born in Bedford, England. His lifetime work was Slang and its Analogues, published in seven volumes (1890–1904) with William Ernest Henley.

Farmer took interest in psychical research and spiritualism. He was the first editor for the spiritualist journal Light. From 1878, he also edited the Psychological Review, a spiritualist periodical.

He also defended the spiritual medium William Eglinton from accusations of fraud, and in 1886 wrote a biography on Eglinton.
