Robert Macfarlan (schoolmaster)
Robert Macfarlan (also Macfarlane) (1734–1804) was a Scottish schoolmaster, known as a writer, journalist and translator.
==Life==
Macfarlan was educated at the University of Edinburgh, where he proceeded M.A. He settled in London, and for some years kept a successful school at Walthamstow, Essex. It was at Shern Lodge, also called Shernhall House, and he ran it from about 1770 to about 1795, when he left Walthamstow. His pupils included Robert Plumer Ward.
At one time Macfarlane was editor of the ''Morning Chronicle'' and ''London Packet''. He reported, from memory, some of the major speeches in parliament during Lord North's administration, in particular from those delivered in the debates on the American War of Independence.〔 In 1792 he was employed by the Highland Society of Scotland as a teacher of Scottish Gaelic.
On the evening of 8 August 1804, during the election, Macfarlan was killed by an accidental fall under a carriage, at Hammersmith.〔
