Biography:
INGLIS, John (fl 1777)
Biographical information is scarce, but British Poets (1822) identifies him as master of the grammar school, Canongate, Edinburgh, and states that he died in 1786. No public records or cemetery registers have been located to confirm this. The book was published anonymously, doubtless for political reasons: the dedication to Prime Minister Lord North declares that the American war is being led by "criminal and ambitious men [who] have unsheathed the sword against their warmest and most determined protectors."
