Beattie, James (1735–1803)

Scottish poet and philosopher. His ‘Essay on Truth’ 1770, written to disprove the empiricism of philosopher David Hume, was praised by the lexicographer Samuel Johnson in his zeal for Christianity. In 1771–74 Beattie published The Minstrel, the poem for which alone he is remembered, containing some beautiful descriptive passages.

Beattie was born in Laurencekirk, Kincardine. He was educated at Marischal College, Aberdeen, where in 1760 he became professor of moral philosophy and logic. His fortune was made when he was befriended by George III.
