Biography:
CARRUTHERS, John (fl 1796)
His Heroic Deeds was intended to be the first of four books; there is no evidence the remaining three were ever published. His book includes several shorter poems, including some by other writers. These indicate that Carruthers came from Annandale, Dumfriesshire, may have lived in Edinburgh or Leith, and may have had a connection with the military. A note at the end of the book states that the names of subscribers—“now upwards of two thousand”—will be published at the end of the fourth volume. No other information has been located. SR
