| | George Campbell |
| | George Campbell was born in Aberdeen and died there on 6 April 1796. | | | Campbells original contribution was to establish a correspondence between the ends of eloquence or rhetoric and the powers of the mind which are to be affected (to enlighten the understanding, to please the imagination, to move the passions, or to influence the will). | | | Campbell also applies critical judgements consistent with his own observations in the Rhetoric; he mentions that the reserve with which the historians of the life of Jesus treat his sufferings must have the effect of mending the readers heart, not exciting his pity or his resentment. |
