DUNBAR, GEORGE (17741851)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 668 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DRO-ECG
DUNBAR, GEORGE (17741851) ,
English
  classical scholar and lexicographer, was born at Coldingham in Berwickshire. In early
life
  he followed the humble profession of gardening, but, having been permanently injured by an accident, devoted himself to the study of the classics. When about thirty years of age, he settled in Edinburgh, where he obtained a tutorship in the family of Lord Provost Fettes. In 1807 he succeeded Andrew Dalzel as professor of
Greek
  in the university. Dunbar held his
appointment
  till his death on the 6th of December 1851. Although a man of
great
  energy and industry, Dunbar did not produce anything of permanent value. He deserves mention, however, for his
Greek
 -
English
  and English-Greek
lexicon
  (184o), on the compilation of which he spent eight years. Although now superseded, it was the best
work
  of its
kind
  that had appeared in England.
The little that is known of Dunbar's
life
  will be found in the Caledonian
Mercury
  (8th of December 1851).
