William Forsyth (writer)
William Forsyth (1818–1879), was a Scottish poet and journalist.
==Life==
Forsyth was son of Morris Forsyth and Jane Brands, and was born at Turriff, Aberdeenshire, 24 October 1818. He was educated at Fordyce Academy and the universities of Aberdeen and Edinburgh. For some years he studied medicine, becoming assistant to a country doctor, and twice acting as surgeon to a Greenland whaler, but he never took a medical degree, and ultimately abandoned medicine for literature. His first engagement was as sub-editor of the ''Inverness Courier'' (1842) under Robert Carruthers, whom he assisted in the preparation of ''Chambers's Cyclopædia of English Literature''. In 1843 he became sub-editor of the ''Aberdeen Herald'', then conducted by Mr. Adam, and he contributed in prose and verse for several years. In 1848 he joined the staff of the ''Aberdeen Journal'', and eventually was appointed editor, a post which he held for about thirty years.
In Aberdeen, at Bonnymuir, Maryville, Friendville, Gordondale, and Richmondhill, his successive homes, he spent more than thirty years. During the last ten years of his life Forsyth suffered from cancer of the mouth. After a long illness, he died on 21 June 1879. He was buried in the cemetery of Allenvale on the Dee. Forsyth married in 1854 Miss Eliza Fyfe, who survived him.
