Macfarquhar, Colin

Scottish printer

born 1745?

died April 2, 1793, Edinburgh?, Scot.

Scottish printer, who, with Andrew Bell (Bell, Andrew), founded the Encyclopædia Britannica in 1768.

A printer in Edinburgh and presumably the printer of the Britannica—for the first edition is stated to have been sold at his printing office in Nicolson Street—Macfarquhar remains an obscure figure. Even the dates and places of his birth and death are uncertain. The one certainty about his part in launching the Britannica is that he edited the early volumes of the third edition (1788–97).
