James Hyslop
James Hyslop (23 July 1798 – 1827), was a Scottish poet.
==Life==
Born in the parish of Kirkconnel, Dumfriesshire, an illegitimate son of Margaret Lambie (1778-1845) and a 'Mr Hyslop' (first name uncertain), Hyslop was early put out to farm-work, but taught himself languages and mathematics. From 1812 to 1816 he was engaged as a shepherd on Nether Wellwood farm, in the parish of Muirkirk. Between 1816 and 1818 he was employed at Corsebank; from there he wrote a poetical epistle to his early Kirkconnel teacher, signed "James Hislop", but later always used the spelling "Hyslop".
In 1818 Hyslop went to Greenock, where he opened a day-school, and wrote for the ''Edinburgh Magazine''. At first he was fairly successful, but his prospects were blasted by having to pay a large sum for which he had become security. Leaving Greenock in 1821, he obtained a post as tutor on board HMS ''Doris'', bound for South America The voyage lasted for three years, and an account of it was given by Hyslop in a series of eleven papers contributed to the ''Edinburgh Magazine'', May–November 1825.〔
Hyslop was next engaged as a reporter in London in 1826, where he was intimate with Allan Cunningham, Edward Irving, and others; but the work proved too heavy for him, and he again took to teaching, first as superintendent of a charity school, and afterwards as tutor on board HMS ''Tweed''. The vessel sailed for the Cape of Good Hope in October 1827, and on 4 November Hyslop died of fever contracted on the island of Santiago, Cape Verde. His body was consigned to the sea with military honours.〔
