GROSART, ALEXANDER BALLOCH Scottish divine and literary editor, son of a building contractor, was born at Stirling on June 18, 1827, and died at Dublin on March 16, 1899. He edited the works of numerous Puritan divines, the "Fuller Worthies Library," the "Chertsey Worthies Library," the "Huth Library Series" and various other works. Grosart was unwearied in searching for rare books, and brought to light much literature formerly almost inaccessible.
