GALLOWAY, THOMAS (1796-1851) , Scottish mathematician, was born at Symington,
Lanarkshire
 , on the 26th of
February
  1796. In 1812 he entered the university of Edinburgh, where he distinguished himself specially in mathematics. In 1823 he was appointed one of the teachers of mathematics at the military college of
Sandhurst
 , and in 1833 he was appointed actuary to the Amicable
Life
  Assurance Office, the oldest institution of that kind in London; in which situation he remained till his death on the 1st of November 1851. Galloway was a voluminous, though, for the most
part
 , an
anonymous
  writer. His most interesting
paper
  is " On the Proper Motion of the Solar
System
 ," and was published in the Phil. Trans., 1847. He contributed largely to the seventh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and also wrote several scientific papers for the Edinburgh
Review
  and various scientific
journals
 . His Encyclopaedia article, " Probability," was published separately.
See Transactions of the Royal Astronomical Society (1852).
