About the author

Sir Daniel Wilson FRSC was a Scots Canadian archaeologist, ethnologist and author. He was born in Edinburgh and educated at the Royal High School.

As a young man, Wilson went to London, and worked in the studio of J.M.W. Turner. He returned to Edinburgh in 1842, and was appointed Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1845. He corresponded with Christian Jürgensen Thomsen and J.J.A. Worsaae, who had established the exhibition of the prehistoric material in the Danish national museum in Copenhagen in terms of the Three-age System – the succession of a Stone Age by a Bronze Age and an Iron Age. He organized the display of the Society's museum after the same chronological scheme, the first to emulate the Copenhagen museum.

In 1848 Wilson published Memorials of Edinburgh in the Olden Time. It was an important record of the many historic buildings that were at risk or were being lost in the rapid development of central Edinburgh. In 1851 he published The Archaeology and Prehistoric Annals of Scotland, which introduced the word 'prehistoric' into the English archaeological vocabulary.

In 1853 Wilson left Scotland to take up the post of Professor of History and English Literature in Toronto. In addition to his teaching duties, he kept up his interests in natural history, geology, and took a keen interest in the ethnography of the indigenous groups that he encountered on his vacation treks. Many of his watercolour sketches of landscapes and encampments of hunter-gatherer groups are now in the Canadian national archives in Ottawa.

Wilson served as president of University College, Toronto from 1880 to 1892, and as the first president of the federated University of Toronto from 1890–1892.
