Rev. James Struthers, Kays Portraits, 1791/1835.

[ Rev. James Struthers ], Minister of the Relief Chapel, College Street. Dated 1791. Mr. Struthers was born at the village of Glassford, in Lanarkshire, in 1770. He early manifested abilities of no ordinary description; and, having studied with success at the University of Glasgow, he was licensed to preach at a period of life when most other students are only about to commence their course of divinity. In 1791, ere he had completed his majority, he was ordained to the Relief Chapel in College Street-the first of that connection erected in Edinburgh, and which had previously been filled by the Rev. Mr. James Baine. Copper etched print published in Kay's Edinburgh Portraits, 1837-8. Size 8 x 13.5 cms plus margins. Ref F2001
