William Guthrie (historian)
William Guthrie (1708–1770) was a Scottish writer and journalist, now remembered as a historian.
==Life==
The son of an Episcopalian clergyman, he was born at Brechin, Forfarshire, in 1708. He was educated at Aberdeen University with a view to becoming a parochial schoolmaster, but he settled in London in 1730, and tried literature.
He was first engaged on parliamentary debates for the ''Gentleman's Magazine'', his reports being revised by Samuel Johnson. He gradually made a reputation as a political writer, and in 1745 received a pension of £200 a year from the Pelham administration. He asked for and was granted a renewal of his pension by the Bute government in 1762.
Guthrie was referred to by Johnson in terms of some respect. He died on 9 March 1770, and was buried in Marylebone.
