Tento škótsky politický reformátor sa spojil s radikálnym krídlom hnutia za parlamentnú reformu, ktoré podnietila Francúzska revolúcia. Bol obvinený zo sedície a odsúdený za šírenie radikálnych myšlienok a odporúčanie diela Thomasa Paina. Po odsúdení na štrnásť rokov nútených prác v Austrálii utiekol do Ameriky. Jeho cesta stroskotaním, zajatím a väznením v rôznych krajinách sa skončila smrťou v dôsledku zranení utrpených v námornej bitke.
