Andrew_Thomson_(Broughton)
Andrew Thomson FRSE (1814–1901) was a Scottish minister and (from 1847) of the United Presbyterian Church. He was a noted biographer and lecturer, well known for his books on the lives of pre-eminent ministers, and for his book on his travels in the Holy Land and noted for his preface to the Scottish poet, Robert Pollok's "Tales of the Covenanters".
Thomson should not be confused with Rev Andrew Mitchell Thomson (1779-1831), minister of St George's, Edinburgh, an evangelical leader considered a precursor of the Disruption of 1843.[1][2]
