CAMI'llKLL. HKV. JOHN, was born at K.linburgh in March 

 and apprenticed to a goldsmith and jeweller in his native city. About 

 1789, at which time he was actively engaged in mraturus for tlio 

 i-xli'ir-ion of Sunday-schools and itinerant prmcbini; in tlio m 

 iii-t 1 1. Is near Edinburgh, he began to prepare himself for the Christian 

 minii-try. He subsequently vinited London, to take charge of twenty- 

 four young natives of Africa, who were brought from Sierra L< 

 be instructed in Christianity, with a view to its intnulnctinn into their 

 native land ; and in 1804 he became pastor of the Independent Church 

 in Kingtland, a charge which he retained until his death, which took 

 place on the 4th of April, 1840, at the age of revrnty-four. Mr. Camp- 

 bell took an active part in tbe formation of the liritish ami 1 

 Bible Society, and several other important religious aasoci.i' t.-. In 

 1812 be made a journey to the stations of the London Miarinary 

 Society in Seuth Africa, from which be returned in 1M1. (>( tint 

 journey be in 1815 published an account iu an octavo volume. In 

 1818-21 he revisited Africa, and found some interesting changes pro- 

 duced by the civilisation introduced by the missionaries. The journal 

 of his second visit appeared in 1S22, in two octavo volumes. Mr. 

 Campbell published numerous works, chiefly for the iurtrurtion of 

 youth, and he was the founder and for eighteen years the editor of 

 the 'Youth's Magazine,' a religious periodical of grrat utility. In 

 1823 he established a penny monthly periodical entitled the ' Teacher's 

 Offering,' the publication of which is still continued by the Religious 

 Tract Society. He *Uo prepared an abridgment of lii ' Travels in 

 South Africa,' and wrote several religioui works for the young. 



CAMPBELL, THOMAS, waa born July 27, 1777, at Glasgow, where 

 his father, who wu the youngest ton of a Highland laird, Campbell 

 of Kernan, and had then attained the age of sixty-seven, bad spent his 

 life a* a merchant, but wai now out of bueinets. Thomas wa< the 

 youngent of a family of eleven sons and daughters. At the univiT-ity 

 of his native city, where ho was educated, he appears to have dihtin- 

 gui'hed himself rather by his occasional exercise*, especially in Greek, 

 than by his general industry and proficiency. It is related that a 

 translation (into verse, we suppose) of the ' Cloud* ' of Aristophanes, 

 for which he obtained a prim in the Greek class, was pronounced l>y 

 the professor, the lute learned and eccentric Profcseor Young, to be 

 the best exercise ever given in by any ttudent of the university. After 

 leaving the university he resided a short time at Kdinburgh, where he 

 published in April 1799 his ' Pleasures of Hope.' Few first poems have 

 ever made PO great a sensation, and it still continues to be the poem 

 by which Campbell is best known ; indeed ho never after ventured on 

 a work of equal extent or pivtension. Yet with all its imposing 

 declamatory 'splendour, and the poetic glow which animates it, it 

 betrays, both in execution and in substance, the raw and unknit mind 

 of youth. It WM a poem of extraordinary promise however for a first 

 production. It could not indeed be considered as a mere clever 

 imitation of any reigning model or other previous poetry ; taken all 

 in all, in it* faults M well as iu it* beauties, its manner and j-pic ii wi-ro 

 its own. It is said that tbe profit! he derived from the rale of the 

 ' Plessures of Hope ' enabled Campbell to visit the continent, which he 

 did in the latter part of the year IbOO. He saw part of Germany, and 

 having' proceeded to Bavaria, then the seat of war, had a view from a 

 stfe diftanoe of the battle of Hohenliuden, fought iu December of that 

 year. He was stopped in attempting to pass into Italy, and returned 

 to England by way of Hamburg. A seventh edition of his ' Pleasures 

 of Hope' appeared in 1802, 'with other poems,' among which were 

 hi* noble verse* on the battle of Hohenlinden ; his spirited and atin ing 

 song, ' Ye Mariners of England,' written at Hamburg on the prospect 

 of war with Denmark ; hi* ' Exile of Erin,' also written there; and 

 hi* ' Locbiel's Warning,' which had been written at Kdinburgh since 

 his return. After being nearly two years iu Kdinburgh, he removed 

 to London in 1803 ; and having in the autumn of that year married 

 hia cousin, Misi Matilda Sinclair, ho appear* to have commenced in 

 earnest tbe pursuit of literature as a profession. Among the works 

 which h produced in the course of the next five or six years, waa a 

 compilation, published anonymously at Kdinburgh in 1807, in 3 vols. 

 8vo, entitled 'Annals of Great Britain, from the Accession of 

 George III. to the IYsce of Amiens.' He also contributed several 

 article* to the 'Edinburgh Encyclopedia,' begun in 1808, under the 

 miperintendeuce of Dr. (now Sir David) Brewster. Meanwhile in 1800 

 be had received from the Fox ministry a pension of 200/. a year, which 

 be enjoyed while he lived. 



With tbe exception of a few occasional short pieces, ho published no 

 more poetry till hia ' Gertrude of Wyoming ' appeared in 1809, accoru-
