INTERESTING

John Brewster (1753 to 1842) was an English author and clergyman, and was the son of the Rev. Richard Brewster, M.A., vicar of Heighington in County Durham. He received his education at the grammar school of Newcastle upon Tyne, and at Lincoln College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. in 1775, and M.A. in 1778. He was appointed curate of Stockton-on-Tees in 1776, and lecturer there in 1777.
