ress in recognition of his worth was presented to him by representatives of nearly every religious community in Scotland (1801-1872). CAMPBELL, THOMAS, poet, born in Glasgow; studied with distinction at the University; when a student of law in Edinburgh wrote "The Pleasures of Hope"; the success of the work, which was great, enabled him to travel on the Continent, where he wrote the well-known lines, "Ye Mariners of England," "Hohenlinden," and "The Exile of Erin"; married, and settled in London, where he did writing, lecturing, and some more poetry, in particular "The Last Man"; after settling in London a pension of L200 was awarded him through the influence of Fox; he wrote in prose as well as verse; he was elected Rector of Glasgow University in 1827, and again in the following year: buried in Westminster (1777-1844).

CAMPE, JOACHIM HEINRICH, German educationist; disciple of Basedow, and author of educational works (1746-1818). CAMPEACHY (12), a Mexican seaport on a bay of the same name; manufactures cigars.

CAMPER, PETER, a Dutch anatomist, born at Leyden; held sundry professorships; made a special study of the facial angle in connection with intelligence; he was an artist as well as a scientist, and a patron of art (1722-1789).

CAMPHUYSEN, a Dutch landscape painter of the 17th century, famous for his moonlight pieces. CAMPI, a family of painters, distinguished in the annals of Italian art at Cremona in the 16th century. CAMPINE, a vast moor of swamp and peat to the E. of Antwerp, being now rendered fertile by irrigation. CAMPION, EDMUND, a Jesuit, born in London; a renegade from the Church of England; became a keen Catholic propagandist in England; was arrested for sedition, of which he was innocent, and executed; was in 1886 beatified by Pope Le
