Granger, James (1703-1776), an English printcol>jctor and biographer, was born in Dorset. In 1743 he entered at Christ Church, Oxford, and having taken orders, was made vicar of Shiplake, Oxfordshire, and here he spent the greater part of his life. -Among his works were a Biographical History of England, An Apology for the Brute Creation (sermon), The Nature and Extent of Industry and Letters. The custom of cutting out engravings from one book to insert in another is known as "Grangerising" because Granger's history was adapted for this purpose.
