Craig,
James M.A. |
|
CRAIG, JAMES, M.A., was born at Gifford in
East Lothian, in 1682, and educated in the university of Edinburgh. He was
first minister at Yester, in his native county, then at Haddington, and
finally at Edinburgh, where he was very popular as a preacher. While in
the first of these situations, he wrote a volume of "Divine
poems," which have gone through two editions, and enjoyed at one time
a considerable reputation. In 1732, when settled in Edinburgh, he
published "Sermons" in three volumes, 8vo, chiefly on the
principal heads of Christianity. He died at Edinburgh in 1744, aged sixty
two. |
