SCOTT, MICHAEL (1789-1835) ,
British
  author, was
born
  at Cowlairs, near Glasgow, on the 3oth of
October
  1789, the son of a Glasgow
merchant
 . In 18o6 he went to Jamaica, first managing some estates, and afterwards joining a business
firm

Kings

book
 , Tom Gringle's Log. In 1822 he left Jamaica and settled in Glasgow, where he engaged in business. Tom Gringle's Log began to appear serially in Blackwood's Magazine in 1829. Scott's second
story
 , The Cruise of the Midge, was also first published serially in Blackwood's in 1834-1835. The first
appearance
  in

 -form of each
story
  was in Paris in 1834. Both stories were originally published anonymously, and their authorship was not known till after Scott's death at Glasgow, on the 7th of November 1835.
