William Taylor (minister)
William Taylor (1744 – 29 March 1823) was a Scottish Minister, Principal of Glasgow University and Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.〔(William Taylor ). Glasgow University (multi-tab page)〕
==Parish Minister==
William Taylor was born in 1744, the fifth son of Robert Taylor (possibly a land factor) of Trinity-Gask in Perthshire. He received his early education in the parochial school in the neighbouring Parish of Fowlis (or Foullis) Wester and proceeded to Edinburgh University, where he graduated M.A..〔Scott, p. 458〕 It was not until he was 28 that he was ordained Minister of the High Kirk, Paisley (22 July 1772),〔Scott, p. 172〕 perhaps indicating some difficulties in getting an initial position. This appointment seems to have been a result of his connections to the Patronage networks of Henry Dundas, the virtual ruler of Scotland and the Duke of Montrose. He was elected to represent the Paisley Presbytery in 1777.〔The ''North British Intelligencer; or Constitutional Miscellany, edited by Robert Dick and A Belshis Vol V Edinburgh 1777 (p. 31 )〕 However, in 1780 he moved to be Minister of the Inner High Kirk (or St Mungo's) in Glasgow.〔 It was a lucrative position, under the Patronage of the Crown, bringing him £400 per year,〔Emerson, p. 200〕 along with other perquisites, including a glebe.〔''Statistical Account of Scotland'' (1792) Vol V Parish of Glasgow, (p. 517 )〕 The Duke was, among many things, Chancellor of the University of Glasgow and Taylor strove for some time to get an appointment there. He mixed with the Professors in the ''College Literary Society''〔Duncan, William James ''Notices and documents illustrative of the literary history of Glasgow'' Maitland Club, Glasgow (1831) (p. 134 )
〕〔(Scottish Thought and Letters in the Eighteenth Century )〕 and was popular with them.〔Emerson, p. 183〕 On 17 February 1783, the University awarded him the degree of Doctor of Divinity,〔 often a preliminary to an academic appointment, though formally in honour of his position as Minister of the High Kirk. However, he was never made a professor and in 1785, when Principal Davidson died, he was passed over in his efforts to succeed him, though he was the choice of the Professors, despite him not having any academic post.〔Emerson, p. 199〕
