Campbell, Thomas

British poet

born July 27, 1777, Glasgow, Scot.

died June 15, 1844, Boulogne, France

Scottish poet, remembered chiefly for his sentimental and martial lyrics; he was also one of the initiators of a plan to found what became the University of London.

Campbell went to Mull, an island of the Inner Hebrides, as a tutor in 1795 and two years later settled in Edinburgh to study law. In 1799 he wrote The Pleasures of Hope, a traditional 18th-century survey in heroic couplets of human affairs. It went through four editions within a year.

He also produced several stirring patriotic war songs—“Ye Mariners of England,” “The Soldier's Dream,” “Hohenlinden,” and, in 1801, “The Battle of the Baltic.” With others he launched a movement in 1825 to found the University of London, for students excluded from Oxford or Cambridge by religious tests or lack of funds.
