William Webster (clergyman)
- William Webster (clergyman)
William Webster (1689 - 1758) was a British clergyman in the Church of England and a theological writer.
In 1740 Webster published a pamphlet on the wool industry called "Consequences of Trade to the Wealth and Strength of any Nation, by a Draper of London". It sold well and went into a fifth edition in 1741, the same year as Webster wrote a refutation of his own arguments, published under the pseudonym Andrew Freeport as "The Draper Confuted".
