James See also:Beattie (1735–1803) became professor of moral philosophy in the same college. These men, with others of less See also:note, formed themselves in 1758 into a society for the discussions of questions in philosophy. Reid was its first secretary, and Campbell one of its founders. It lasted till about 1773, and during this See also:period numerous papers were read, particularly those by Reid and Campbell, which were afterwards See also:expanded and published.
In 1759 Campbell was made See also: principal of Marischal College. In 1763 he published his celebrated Dissertation on Miracles, in which he seeks to show, in opposition to See also:Hume, that miracles are capable of See also:- PROOF (in M. Eng. preove, proeve, preve, &°c., from O. Fr . prueve, proeve, &c., mod. preuve, Late. Lat. proba, probate, to prove, to test the goodness of anything, probus, good)
proof by testimony, and that the miracles of See also:Christianity are sufficiently attested. There is no See also:contradiction, he argues, as Hume said there was, between what we know by testimony and the See also:evidence upon which a See also:law of nature is based; they are of a different description indeed, but we can without inconsistency believe that both are true. The Dissertation is not
a See also:complete See also:treatise upon miracles, but with all deductions it was and still is a valuable contribution to theological literature. In 1771 Campbell was elected professor of See also:theology at Marischal College, and resigned his See also:city See also:charge, although he still preached as minister of Greyfriars, a See also:duty then attached to the chair. His Philosophy of See also:Rhetoric, planned at Banchory Ternan years before, appeared in 1776, and at once took a high See also:place among books on the subject. In 1778 his last and in some respects his greatest See also:work appeared, A New See also:Translation of the Gospels. The See also:critical and explanatory notes which accompanied it gave the See also:book a high value.
In 1795 he was compelled by increasing weakness to resign the offices he held in Marischal College, and on his retirement he received a See also:pension of £300 from the king. . He died on the 31st of See also:March 1796.
His Lectures on Ecclesiastical See also:History were published after his See also:death with a See also:biographical See also:notice by G. S. See also: Keith; there is a See also:uniform edition of his See also:works in 6 vols.
