CAMPBELL , 8th See also:duke (1823-19o0), the second son of the 7th duke, was See also:born on the 3oth of See also:April 1823, and succeeded his See also:father in April 1847. He had already obtained See also:notice as a writer of See also:pamphlets on the disruption of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church of See also:Scotland, which he strove to avert, and he rapidly became prominent on the Liberal See also:side in See also:parliamentary politics. He was a frequent and eloquent See also:speaker in the See also:House of Lords, and sat as See also:lord privy See also:seal (1852) and postmaster-See also:general (1855) in the cabinets of Lord See also:Aberdeen and Lord See also:Palmerston. In Mr See also:Gladstone's See also:cabinet of 1868 he was secretary of See also:state for See also:India, and somewhat infelicitously signalized his See also:term of See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office by his refusal, against the See also:advice of the See also:Indian See also:government, to promise the See also:amir of See also:Afghanistan support against See also:Russian aggression, a course which threw that ruler into the arms of See also:Russia and was followed by the second Afghan See also:War. His See also:eminence alike as a See also:great Scottish See also:noble, and as a See also:British states-See also:man, was accentuated in 1871 when his son, the See also:marquess of Lorne, married Princess See also:Louise, the See also:fourth daughter of See also:Queen See also:Victoria; but in the See also:political See also:world few memorable acts on his See also:part See also:call for See also:record except his resignation of the office of lord privy seal, which he held in Mr Gladstone's See also:administration of 188o, from his inability to assent to the Irish See also:land legislation of 1881. He opposed the See also:Home See also:Rule See also:Bill with equal vigour, though Mr Gladstone subsequently stated that, among all the old colleagues who dissented from his course, the duke was the only one whose See also:personal relations with him remained entirely unchanged. Detached from party, the duke took an See also:independent position, and for many years spoke his mind with great freedom in letters to The Times on public questions, especially such as concerned the rights or interests of landowners. He was no less active on scientific questions in their relation to See also:religion, which he earnestly strove to reconcile with the progress of See also:discovery. With this aim he published The Reign of See also:Law (1866), Primeval Man (1869), The Unity of Nature (1884), The Unseen See also:Foundations of Society (1893), and other essays. He also wrote on the Eastern question, with especial reference to India, the See also:history and antiquities of See also:Iona, patronage in the Church of Scotland, and many other subjects. The duke (to whose Scottish See also:title was added a dukedom of the See also:United See also:Kingdom in 1892) died on the .24th of April 1900. He was thrice married: first (1844) to a daughter of the second duke of See also:Sutherland (d. 1878); secondly (1881) to a daughter of See also:Bishop Claughton of St Albans (d. 1894); and thirdly (1895) to Ina See also:Erskine M`See also:Neill. Few men of the duke's era displayed more versatility of See also:intellect, and he was remarkable among the men of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time for his lofty eloquence.
He was succeeded as 9th duke by his eldest son JOHN DOUGLAS SUTHERLAND CAMPBELL (1845- ), whose See also:marriage in 1871 to H.R.H. Princess Louise gave him a See also:special prominence in See also:English public See also:life. He was See also:governor-general of See also:Canada from 1878 to 1883; member of See also:parliament for See also:South See also:Manchester, in the Unionist See also:interest, 1895 to 'goo; and he also became known as a writer both in See also:prose and See also:verse. In 1907 he published his reminiscences, Pages from the Past.
