Lindley Murray (1745 - 1826), grammarian, was born in Pennsylvania, and
practised as a lawyer. From 1785 he lived in England, near York, and was
for his last 16 years confined to the house. His English Grammar (1795)
was long a standard work, and his main claim to a place in literature.
His other writings were chiefly religious.
