WILLIAM (d. 1771) , Scottish See also:literary forger, was See also:born in the latter See also:part of the 17th See also:century, and was educated at See also:Edinburgh university, where he graduated in 1695. He applied unsuccessfully for the See also:post of See also:professor of humanity there, in See also:succession to See also:Adam See also:Watt, whose assistant he had been for a See also:- TIME (0.

time, and also for the keepership of the university library. He was a See also:good See also:scholar, and in 1739, published Poetarum Scotorum Musae Sacrae, a collection of poems by various writers, mostly paraphrased from the See also:Bible. In 1742 Lauder came to See also:London. In 1947 he wrote an See also:article for the See also:Gentleman's See also:Magazine to prove that See also:Milton's See also:Paradise Lost was largely a See also:plagiarism from the Adamus Exul (16o1) of See also:Hugo See also:Grotius, the Sarcotis (1654) of J. Masen (Masenius, 16o6–1681), and the Poemata Sacra (1633) of See also:Andrew See also:Ramsay (1574–1659). Lauder expounded his See also:case in a See also:series of articles, and in a See also:book (1753) increased the See also:list of plundered authors to nearly a See also:hundred. But his success was See also:short-lived. Several scholars, who had independently studied the alleged See also:sources of Milton's See also:inspiration, proved conclusively that Lauder had not only garbled most of his quotations, but had even inserted amongst them extracts from a Latin rendering of Paradise Lost. This led to his exposure, and he was obliged to write a See also:complete See also:confession at the dictation of his former friend See also:Samuel See also:- JOHNSON, ANDREW
