JAMES (1771-1854) , See also:British poet and journalist, son of a Moravian See also:minister, was See also:born on the 4th of See also:November 1771, at See also:Irvine in See also:Ayrshire, See also:Scotland. See also:Part of his boyhood was spent in See also:Ireland, but he received his See also:education in See also:Yorkshire, at the Moravian school of Fulneek near See also:Leeds. He edited the See also:Sheffield See also:Iris for more than See also:thirty years. When he began his career the position of a journalist who held pronounced views on reform was a difficult one, and he twice suffered imprisonment (in 1795 and 1796). His Wanderer of See also:Switzerland (18o6), describing the See also:French occupation, attracted considerable See also:attention. The author was described by See also:Lord See also:Byron in a footnote to See also:English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, as " a See also:man of considerable See also:genius," whose Wanderer of Switzer-See also:land was See also:worth a thousand " Lyrical See also:Ballads." The See also:book had been mercilessly ridiculed by See also:Jeffrey in the See also:Edinburgh See also:Review (1807), but in spite of this Montgomery achieved a wide popularity with his later volumes of See also:verse: The,See also:West Indies (181o); The See also:World Before the See also:Flood (1812); See also:Greenland (1819); Songs of See also:Zion (1822); The See also:Pelican See also:Island (1826). On See also:account of the religious See also:character of his See also:poetry, he is sometimes confounded with See also:Robert Montgomery, very much to the injustice of his reputation. His verses were dictated by the inspiring force of humanitarian sentiment, and he was especially eloquent in his denunciation of the slave See also:trade.

Campbell is apparent in his earlier poems, but in the Pelican Island, his last and best See also:work as a poet, he evidently took See also:Shelley as his See also:model. His reputation now rests chiefly on his See also:hymns, about a See also:hundred of which are still in current use. His Lectures on Poetry and See also:General Literature (1833) show considerable breadth of sympathy and See also:power of expression. A See also:pension of
£150 was bestowed on him by See also:Sir Robert See also:Peel in 1835. He died at Sheffield on the 3oth of See also:April 1854.
His poems were collected and edited by himself in 1841. The voluminous See also:Memoirs, published in seven volumes (1856-1858) by

See also:Dublin, Ireland, in 1736. Educated at St See also:Andrew's and at Trinity See also:College, Dublin, he entered the British See also:army in 1756, becoming See also:captain six years later. He saw See also:war service at Louisbourg in 1757 and in the See also:Lake See also:Champlain expedition of 1759, and as See also:adjutant of his See also:regiment (the 17th See also:foot) he shared in the final threefold advance upon See also:Montreal. Later he was See also:present at See also:Martinique and See also:Havana. In 1772 he See also:left the army, settled in New See also:York, and married a daughter of Robert R. See also:Livingston. Three years later he was a delegate to the first provincial See also:congress of New York, and became brigadier-general in the See also:Continental army. He was sent with See also:Schuyler on the See also:Canadian expedition, and, on Schuyler's falling See also:ill, the command devolved upon him. Hampered by the in-clemency of the See also:season and the See also:gross indiscipline of the troops, he went forward, gaining a few See also:minor successes and capturing the See also:colours of the 7th (Royal) Fusiliers, and met See also:Benedict See also:Arnold's contingent at Point aux Trembles. They pushed on to See also:Quebec barely Boo strong, but an See also:assault was made on the 31st of See also:December 1775, and almost at the first See also:discharge Montgomery was killed.
