Thomas Chalmers, D.D., 1780-1847, was the sixth of fourteen children. At the parish school was " one of the idlest, strongest, merriest, and most generous-hearted boys." Pure geometry had a strong attraction for him from childhood, but he desired to be a minister of the Gospel, and wrote the article on ' Christianity ' for ' The Edinburgh Encyclopaedia.'
