Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FINDLATER, ANDREW (1810,885) , Scottish editor, was
born
  in 1810 near
Aberdour
 , Aberdeenshire, the son of a small farmer. By hard study in the evening, after his day's
work
  on the farm was finished, he qualified himself for entrance at Aberdeen University, and after graduating as M.A. he attended the Divinity classes with the
idea
  of entering the
ministry
 . In 1853 he began that connexion with the
firm
  of W. & R. Chambers which gave direction to his subsequent activity. His first engagement was the editing of a revised edition of their Information for the
People
  (1857). In this capacity he gave evidence of qualities and acquirements that marked him as a suitable editor for Chambers's Encyclopaedia, then projected, and his was the directing mind that gave it its
character
 . Many of the more important articles were written by him. This
work
  occupied him till 1868, and he afterwards edited a revised edition (,874). He also had charge of other publications for the same
firm
 , and wrote regularly for the Scotsman. In 1864 he was made LL.D. of Aberdeen University. In 1877 he gave up active work for
Chambers, but his services were retained as consulting editor. He died in
Edinburgh
  on the 1st of January 1885.
