Pringle was educated at the University of Edinburgh and befriended by Sir Walter Scott. He immigrated to South Africa in 1820. He published a newspaper and a magazine in Cape Town, but his reform views caused their suppression. He returned to London in 1826 and spent the rest of his life in the antislavery movement.
