Alexander Jamieson
Alexander Jamieson (1782–1850) was a Scottish writer and schoolmaster of the early 19th century, now best known as a rhetorician. He has been described as in effect a professional textbook writer. After the failure of the school he worked as an actuary.〔(''Alexander Jamieson, celestial map maker'' (abstract), by Ian Ridpath. )〕
==Life==
Some of Jamieson's background is obscure. He was born at Rothesay, Bute, to William Jamieson, a wheelwright, and Margaret Stewart. In 1821 he obtained a degree of M.A. from Marischal College, Aberdeen, and an LL.D. there in 1823.〔 In 1825 he was admitted as a sizar at St John's College, Cambridge, and became a ten-year man. In 1826 he became a member of the Astronomical Society of London.〔
Jamieson was active in the period 1814 to 1846 writing textbooks, and also ran a school. In 1824 it was at Heston House on Hounslow Heath, where some Hindustani was taught. From 1826 to 1838 it was at Wyke House in Middlesex. Wyke House Academy was advertised as a preparation for the Army, Navy, civil engineers, architects and surveyors.〔 Among his pupils at Wyke House was George Windsor Earl; and John Rouse Bloxam taught there.
Jamieson was declared bankrupt in 1838. He then worked as an actuary. Towards the end of his life he suffered a stroke, moved to Bruges in Belgium with his wife Frances (née Thurtle), known as a writer, whom he had married in 1820. She was the author of the relatively successful ''Ashford Rectory; or, The Spoiled Child Reformed. Containing a short introduction to the sciences of architecture and heraldry...''.〔3rd e. corrected and enlarged (London: G. and W. B. Whittaker, 1820). See the specialist bookseller catalogue ''Women Writers R–Z'' (London: Jarndyce, 2012). ISBN 9781900718899.〕 He died in Bruges in 1850.〔
