Biography:
NORVAL, James (1765-1847: Lawrance)
His play is dedicated to Lord Gardenstone, and the introduction is dated from Lochaber, 1787. A footnote says the play was written when he was nineteen. Lawrance identifies the author as a schoolmaster in Montrose and the author of a work on astronomy (not found). He was possibly born at Aberdeen to William Norval and his wife, Helen (Baron).
