Murray, James (1)
a Scotch divine of some note, flourished in the first half of the 18th century. He was born at Dunkeld in 1702, and educated at the Marischal College, Aberdeen; after taking his degree he was licensed for the ministry. He died in 1758. He is supposed to have preached for a time at Westminster. He published Aetheia, or a General System of Moral Truths and Natural Religion (London, 1747, 2 volumes, 12mo). See Chalmers, Biog. Dict. s.v.; Wilson, Dissenting Churches.

Murray, James (2)
an English divine, who flourished near the middle of the last century at Newcastle, where he died in 1782, devoted himself largely to the study of secular and ecclesiastical history, and published Hist. of the Churches of England and Scotland (Newcastle, 1771, 3 volumes, 8vo): Impartial Hist. of the present War in America (1778-80, 3 volumes, 8vo). He also collected some of his sermons, and they were published in 1819 under the title of Sermons to Asses, to Doctors in Divinity, to Lords Spiritual, and to Ministers of State (Lond. 8vo). A copy of this curious collection, which is very rare, is in the Drew Theological Seminary library (Madison, N.J.). It betrays much disaffection with the National Church establishment.
