John Adam was of a good family in Forfarshire, North Britain. He was born at Forfar, in January 1792, and was the eldest son of a respectable Surgeon, who had served in the medical staff of the British army, both at home and abroad, and afterwards settled in private practice at Forfar. He received the early part of his education at a private school in his native town, as well as at the Grammar school of Dundee, and in the year 1807, at the age of fourteen he became a student at Mareschol College, Aberdeen. There he resided two terms under the special charge of his relative, Bishop Skinner, an ac complished scholar, who directed his young friend's studies chiefly to the higher classics, and the elementary portions of Chemistry and Natural History, branches of knowledge for which he entertained a strong predilection. Dr. Adam appears to have experienced an intuitive and strong attraction towards a particular calling, and the history of his career proves that he made a proper and a wise choice. 745669 A |
