Biography:
GRAHAM, Walter (b 1781?: ancestry.co.uk)
Little is known about this author other than what can be learned from his book. One Walter Graham, gardener, is recorded in the 1841 census as living in or around Edinburgh; he was born in 1781. The preface states that he had limited education and offers his book to the public “as an orphan from its mother’s arms.” Several poems reflect on his reduced circumstances; a footnote to one describes him as lame, while another mentions a wife and three children. The book includes “Observations on Gardening, with Receipts for Pickling and Preserving.” (ancestry.co.uk 16 July 2019)
