After having been apprenticed to a linendraper, and for three years a clerk in a See also:Dundee business See also:house, he entered the Hoxton (Congregational) Theological See also:College, and in 1804 was appointed to a Congregational See also:chapel in See also:Aberdeen.

Campbell in his second See also:journey to South Africa to inspect the stations of the See also:London Missionary Society, and reported that the conduct of the Cape Colonists towards the natives was deserving of strong reprobation. In 1822 the London Missionary Society appointed him See also:superintendent of their South See also:African stations. He made his headquarters at Cape Town, where he also established and undertook the pastorate of the See also:Union Chapel. His indignation was aroused by the barbarities inflicted upon the See also:Hottentots and See also:Kaffirs (by a minority of the colonists), and he set himself to remedy their grievances; but his zeal was greater than his knowledge. He misjudged the See also:character both of the colonists and of the natives, his See also:cardinal See also:mistake being in regarding the African as little removed from the See also:European in See also:intellect and capacity. It was the See also:period of the agitation for the abolition of See also:slavery in See also:England, where Philip's ,charges against the colonists and the colonial See also:government found powerful support. His See also:influence was seen in the See also:ordinance of 1828 granting all See also:free coloured persons at the Cape every right to which arty other British subjects were entitled. During 1826-1828 he was in England, and in the last-named See also:year he published Researches in South Africa, containing his views on the native question. His recommendations were adopted by the House of See also:Commons, but his unpopularity in South Africa was See also:great, and in 1830 he was convicted of libelling a Cape See also:official. The British government, however, caused the Cape government to conform to the views of Philip, who for over twenty years exercised a powerful, and in many respects unfavourable, influence over the destinies of the See also:country. One of Philip's ideals was the curbing of colonial " aggression " by the creation of a See also:belt of native states around Cape See also:Colony. In See also:Sir See also:Benjamin D'See also:Urban Philip found a See also:governor anxious to promote the interests of the natives. When however at the See also:close of the Kaffir See also:War of 1834-35 D'Urban annexed the country up to the Kei See also:River, Philip's hostility was aroused. He came to England in 1836, in See also:company with a Kaffir convert and a Hottentot convert, and aroused public See also:opinion against the Cape government. His viewstriumphed, D'Urban was dismissed, and Philip returned to the Cape as unofficial adviser to the government on all matters affecting the natives. For a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time his See also:plan of buffer states was carried out, but in 1846 another Kaffir rising convinced him of the futility of his schemes. The Kaffir See also:chief who had accompanied him to England joined the enemy; and many of his converts showed that his efforts on their behalf had effected no See also:change in their character. This was a See also:blow from which he did not recover. The See also:annexation of the See also:Orange River Sovereignt)'r in 1848 followed, finally destroying his See also:hope of maintaining See also:independent native states. In 1849 he severed his connexion with politics and retired to the See also:mission station at Hankey, Cape Colony, where he died on the 27th of See also:August 1851.
