Ancestors of Norman Roscoe WILSON

Generation No. 5


      16. John Wilson, born 16 Apr 1802 in Barony, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland; died 03 Aug 1868 in Cambridge, Middlesex, Mass.. He was the son of 32. Joshua Wilson and 33. Elizabeth Chalmers. He married 17. Catharine.

Notes for John Wilson:
WILSON, John, printer, born in Glasgow, Scotland, 16 April, 1802; died in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 3 August, 1868. Although of humble birth and enjoying but meagre educational advantages, he became later in life a learned man, having mastered Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, German, and other languages. He was apprenticed to a printer, and in 1846 removed to Boston, Massachusetts, where he established himself in business, and became widely known for his excellent work. He subsequently removed to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was the founder of the present firm of John Wilson and Son, that, for several years, has had charge of the University press. Wilson was also a sturdy champion of Unitarianism, and wrote several books in its defence that have been highly commended. His principal publication is connected with his art, being a "Treatise on Grammatical Punctuation " (Belfast, 1826 ; new ed., entitled "A Treatise on English Punctuation," Boston, 1850). Of this work, of which over twenty editions have been issued, it has been said that it "places punctuation on a clear and intelligible grammatical basis, and so completely exhausts the subject as to leave nothing to be desired." He received the degree of A. M. from Harvard in 1866. He also prefixed an "Essay on the Character and Writings of Robert Burns" to an edition of that poet's works (Belfast, 1837), and delivered an "Address on Burns," which is contained in the "Report of the Burns Centenary Meeting" (Boston, 1859). His other publications comprise "Scripture Proofs and Scripture Illustrations of Unitarianism" (1833; 3d ed., London and Manchester, 1846; abridged, Boston, part i. ; new ed., New York, 1847); "The Concessions of Trinitarians" (Manchester, 1842 ; Boston, 1845) ; " Unitarian Principles Confirmed by Trinitarian Testimonies" (Boston, 1855-'7) ; and " The Elements of Punctuation," an abridgment of the first-named work (1856).
