Name John Scott Born 1783 Aberdeen, Scotland 
Gender Male Died 27 Feb 1821 Camden Town, London, England Cause: Fatally Wounded - John Gibson Lockhart had been abusing many of Scott's contributors in Blackwood's Magazine (under a pseudonym (Z), as was then common). In May 1820, Scott began a series of counter-articles, which provoked Lockhart into calling him "a liar and a scoundrel". In February 1820, Lockhart's London agent, Jonathan Henry Christie, made a provocative statement, and Scott challenged him. They met on 16 February 1821, at a farm between Camden Town and Hampstead. Christie did not fire in the first round, but there was a misunderstanding between the seconds, resulting in a second round. Scott was hit in the abdomen, and died 11 days later. Christie and his second were tried for willful murder and acquitted; the collection for Scott's family was a notable radical cause.
Notes - John Scott was the founder and editor of the London Magazine and champion of the group of Whig ‘romantics’ that included Keats, Shelley, Hazlitt and Hunt.
