• GLEN, James printer and bookseller Edinburgh

  A James Glen appears among the debtors in Lithgow's inventory in 1662. He was probably one of the booksellers who bought the printing-house of the Society of Stationers in 1671, and together with George Swintoun, Thomas Brown and David Trench was a partner of A. Anderson in the privilege and appointment as King's Printer the same year. In virtue of this partnership, Glen styled himself 'one of His Majesties Printers' and his name as printer appears in books from 1667 to 1681. In 1687 he was ordered to be imprisoned for causing to be reprinted The Root of Romish Rites. Child buried in Greyfriars Churchyard 26 August 1689. James Glen buried in Greyfriars Churchyard 3 May 1690. On 2 December 1691 Henrie, son of the deceased James Glen was apprenticed to John Vallange.

  By his own account he was born at Raploch, under the rock of Stirling Castle. He was educated at Stirling, and was apparently an eye-witness of the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. He published his own Account of the Rebellion, a verse account, which exists in two different versions, and had the second edition printed for himself in 1752. A great number of chapbooks have also been attributed to him, probably wrongly. He is said to have been appointed skellat bellman of Glasgow and to have died 20 July 1779.

• GRANT, James printer and news writer Edinburgh
  Edinburgh 1736-46
  In May 1736, a deed of copartnery was signed by Thomas and Walter Ruddiman and James Grant. Grant undertook to collect the foreign and domestic news, to see the Caledonian Mercury through the press, and to publish it. His wife, Marjory Panton and he, described as James Grant, Printer in Edinburgh, sued David Hume dyster in Edinburgh on 25 January 1737, as guilty of a most barborous and outrageous battery, commited upon Marjory Panton, under cloud of night on her own stair, and within her own door; whence after beating her to the ground; he inhumanly dragged her by the heels down the stone stair. He was also involved in a dispute over the payment of £7 sterling to Elizabeth Wightman, 30 July and 9 November 1742. On this occasion he is described as 'one of the publishers of the Caledonian Mercury'. On 2 September 1745, the Caledonian Mercury published a paragraph about the Duke of Athole, as a result of which Thomas Ruddiman was tried, convicted and fined £5 and imprisoned for 48 hours. On 1 November 1745 James Grant left the Mercury and joined the rebels. He 'was a Lieutenant in the Rebel Army & printed several Treasonable papers for them [whereabouts] not known.' Caledonian Mercury 10 January 1746 'The rebels carried off from Glasgow a printing press, types, and other materials for printing (printing Prince Charles's Declaration, &c.) together with servants to work in that way.' They took from one printer a press, from another some types, and from a third chases, furniture, &c. This happened when the insurgents were on their final retreat northward.' James Grant is thought to have taken refuge in France.

He floated a project for a Printers' Hall using steam to drive printing machinery, but relinquished the design and edited an Edinburgh Directory with a street directory and a trade directory in 1833 and for several years afterwards.
