NICOLL, ROBERT (1814-1837)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 663 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NICOLL, ROBERT (1814-1837) , Scottish poet, was born on the 7th of January, 1814, at the farm of Little Tullybeltane, in the parish of Auchtergaven, Perthshire. When Robert was five years old his father was reduced to poverty. He became a day-labourer, and was only able to give his son a very slight education. At sixteen the boy was apprenticed to a grocer and wine-merchant at
Perth
 . In 1833 he began to contribute to
Johnstone
 's Magazine (afterwards
Tait
 's Magazine), and in the next year his
apprenticeship
  was cancelled. He visited Edinburgh, and was kindly received there, but obtained no employment. He opened a circulating library at Dundee, but in 1836 he became editor of the Leeds Times. He held pronounced Radical opinions, and overtaxed his slender
physical
  resources in electioneering
work
  for Sir William Molesworth in the summer of 1837. He was obliged to resign his editorship, and died at the
house
  of his friend William
Tait
 , at Trinity, near Edinburgh, on the 7th of December 1837, in his twenty-fourth year. He had published a volume of Poems in 1835; and in 1844 appeared a further volume, Poems and Lyrics, with an
anonymous
  memoir of the author by Mrs C. I.
Johnstone
 . The best of his lyrics are those written in the Scottish dialect. They are simple in feeling and expression, genuine folk-songs.
An eloquent appreciation of his character and his poetry was included in Charles Kingsley's article on " Burns and his School " in the North British
Review
  for November 1851. See also P. R. Drummond, Life of Robert Nicoll, Poet (1884).
