Andrew Reid (writer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Reid (died c. 1767) was a Scottish writer.
Reid moved to London, probably about 1720, and interested himself in literary and scientific subjects. In 1728, he launched The Present State of the Republick of Letters, a periodical which he edited until 1736, when it ceased; two volumes appeared each year.[1] An influence on the publication was the earlier editor Michel de La Roche.[2]
Reid attended James Thomson in his last illness, in 1748.[3] It is presumed that he died in 1767.[1]
