from Palmer site
Thomas Fyshe Palmer, the son of a Bedfordshire landowner, was born in
August 1747. After being educated at Eton and Queen's College, Cambridge, he became a
curate at Leatherhead in Surrey. Palmer
 came under the influence of the radical preacher, Joseph
Priestley. Palmer became dissatisfied with the
doctrines of the Church of England and moved to Montrose in
Scotland where he joined a group of
Unitarians who had opened a chapel in the town.

For the next few years Thomas Fyshe Palmer toured Scotland
making speeches and helping to form
Unitarian groups. He played an active role in the campaign in
Scotland for religious toleration. Palmer
also wrote and published pamphlets on his religious views. As
well as Unitarian tracts, Palmer wrote
         pamphlets advocating parliamentary reform and universal
suffrage.
