Dr.
James Anderson (c.
1679/1680 – 1739) was a Scottish writer and minister born and educated in Aberdeen, Scotland.
He was ordained a minister in the Church of Scotland in 1707 and moved to London, where he ministered to the Glass House Street congregation until 1710, to the Presbyterian church in Swallow Street until 1734, and at Lisle Street Chapel until his death.
He is reported to have lost a large sum of money in the South Sea Company crash of 1720.
Anderson is best known, however, for his association with Freemasonry.
