William Ogilvie Of Pittensear
William Ogilvie of Pittensear FRSE FSA(Scot) (1736-1819), known as the Rebel Professor and described by his biographer as the ''Euclid of Land law Reform', was a Scottish classicist, numismatist and author of an influential historic land reform treatise. Published in London in 1781, ''An Essay on the Right of Property in Land'' was issued anonymously, necessarily it seems in a revolutionary age. As with John Locke, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Paine, Adam Smith and others—Ogilvie is seen as a leading proto-Georgist thinker. His masterwork was republished in 1838, then in 1891 (reprinted 1970) as the heart and subject of a much larger new work titled ''Birthright in Land'', and in more recent years has been republished twice in modern, further expanded editions, using that same title. Ogilvie is cited as an influence by reformers internationally. The principal authority and main published source of information on William Ogilvie and his life is his 19th-century biographer DC MacDo ...

William Ogilvie (Ardglass)
William Ogilvie (1740–1832) was a Scottish-born scholar and tutor. Life Details of Ogilvie's early life are unclear. The ''Dictionary of Irish Biography'' suggests several possible backgrounds: "His enemies alleged that he was from a humble background, though possibly educated at Edinburgh University ... some even said he had come to Ireland as a drummer in a Scots regiment." Another suggestion was that he was from Banff, Scotland and attended King's College, Aberdeen. He himself claimed to be related to "a baronetical family of Ogilvies". Ogilvie was hired by Emily FitzGerald, Duchess of Leinster, to tutor her children after the death of her eldest in London. He was introduced to her by Dean Marley and was described as speaking with a harsh Scots voice, being dour, ungainly, often rude and frequently unshaven. Eccentric in his age this shy, reserved, rather grubby man believed that children were sensible immature people and had an excellent rapport with them. He had a parti ...
