Biography:

Duff, James (fl 1805-16)

Surprisingly little biographical information is available. His poetry suggests he served in the navy before becoming a lieutenant in the Royal Perthshire Volunteers. His chapbook (8 pp), entitled Bonaparte’s Comin’: or Rouse Brother Britons (Stirling, 1805), identifies him as living at Logiealmond, Perthshire. In 1805 he was a member of the Volunteers; by 1816 he had resigned.
