FSA (1784–1861) was George Joseph Bell’s successor at the University of Edinburgh in the chair of Scots Law, which he held from 1843 to 1861.

S. (1882). ''Modern Athenians: A Series of Original Portraits of Memorable Citizens of Edinburgh. ''A. and C. Black. 〕 He married Mary Gillespie (d.1849) in 1811. He was less famous than Hume and Bell, but none the less edited Erskine’s ''Principles'' and Stair’s ''Institutions''. He was considered "a suitably learned man who inspired some affection in his students despite bbbthe dullness of his lecturing style".〔 Cairns, J.W., & MacQueen, H.L.
