	Alexander Cruden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexander Cruden (May 31, 1701 – 1 November 1770), also called (by himself) Alexander the Corrector, was the author of a concordance to the Bible.
		Alexander Cruden was born in Aberdeen in Scotland and was educated at Aberdeen Grammar School and Marischal College, and became an excellent Latin, Greek and Biblical scholar.
		Alexander Chalmers, who in his boyhood heard Cruden lecture in Aberdeen and wrote his biography, says that a verbal index to Milton, which accompanied the edition of Thomas Newton, Bishop of Bristol, in 1769, was Cruden's.

		It was presented to the queen on the 3rd of November 1737, a fortnight before her death.
		Although Crudens biblical labors have made his name a household word among English-speaking people, he was disappointed in his hopes of immediate profit, and his mind again became unhinged.
		About this time he adopted the title of Alexander the Corrector, and assumed the office of correcting the morals of the nation, especially with regard to swearing and Sunday observance.

		Cruden's concordance was first published in 1737, one of the first copies being personally presented to Queen Carolina on November 3, 1737.
		Cruden was not driven mad by the concordance but rather the concordance was driven because Cruden was mad.
		It might not have been insanity which accomplished Cruden's concordance but it might certainly be considered madness to attempt to compile a biblical concordance today in the same manner as Alexander Cruden or his predecessors.

		So it was a pretty dire action, but because of that, Cruden for the rest of his life had this reputation as being mad, and having been mad since he was in his 20s.
		He was courting this lady, a widow, and a rival for her hand discovered that he’d been locked up as a young man, so just paid for him to be put in the madhouse again.
		So although he, Chalmers, never believed Cruden was mad, people since then have not been interested in that, they’ve been much more interested in the mad side of it.

		In fact, Cruden and his co-authors argue that the process occurs in rapid, dynamic and possibly catastrophic events that take between 1,000 and 100,000 years, depending on the size of the granite intrusion.
		Cruden conducted the research with Nick Petford of Kingston University and Ken McCaffrey of the University of Durham, both in England, and Jean-Louis Vigneresse of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Nancy, France.
		Therefore, says Cruden, a 50 km wide intrusion of granite, in say Greenland or the Canadian Shield, that geologists would have once estimated to have taken millions of years to form may have actually taken only 50,000 years.

	The Good, Insane Concordance Maker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the mid-1720s, Alexander Cruden took on a self-imposed task of Herculean proportions, Himalayan tedium, and inhuman meticulousness: he decided to compile the most thorough concordance of the King James Version of the Bible to date.
		On another occasion, Cruden had apparently gone to break up a brawl but ended up spending the best part of an hour admonishing disorderly soldiers not to swear while periodically whacking them on the head with a shovel.
		As Timothy Larsen observes, Cruden did not have the sense to know that “one man working alone in his bedroom could not produce a complete concordance of the Bible.” And from this folly millions have been blessed.

		Keay has pieced together evidence suggesting that Cruden's first incarceration, in the disgusting conditions of the Aberdeen Tollbooth when he was only 20, was the result of a trumped-up conspiracy by a powerful local family, the Blackwells.
		After much detective work, Keay infers that Cruden's tragic first love was Elizabeth Blackwell, and that he was locked up in the Tollbooth because the Blackwells were anxious to cover up evidence of her incest.
		It was after a spell in a Chelsea madhouse, his fourth incarceration, that Cruden began speaking of himself in the third person, styling himself as "Alexander the Corrector", a title he adopted because he wanted to "put a stop to profane swearing and sabbath breaking".
