GRANT, JAMES (18221887)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 354 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GRANT, JAMES (18221887) , British novelist, was born in Edinburgh on the 1st of August 1822. His father, John Grant, was a captain in the 92nd
Gordon
  Highlanders and had served through the Peninsular War. For several years James Grant was in
Newfoundland
  with his father, but in 1839 he returned to England, and entered the 62nd Foot as an
ensign
 . In 1843 he resigned his commission and devoted himself to writing, first magazinearticles, but soon a profusion of novels, full of vivacity and incident, and dealing mainly with military scenes and characters. His best stories, perhaps, were The Romance of War (his first, 1845), Bothwell (1851), Frank Hilton; or, The Queen's Own (1855), The Phantom
Regiment
  and Harry Ogilvie (1856),
Lucy
  Arden (1858), The
White
  Cockade (1867), Only an
Ensign
  (1871), Shall I Win Her? (1874), Playing with Fire (1887). Grant also wrote British Battles on
Land
  and Sea (18731875) and valuable books on Scottish history. Permanent value attaches to his
great
 
work
 , in three volumes, on Old and New Edinburgh (188o). He was the founder and energetic promoter of the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights. In 1875 he became a Roman Catholic. He died on the 5th of May 1887.
