  Hugh Blair   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Hugh Blair was born on 7 April 1718 in Edinburgh and died on 27 December 1800.
Blair was greatly impressed by the abrupt, exclamatory style of the supposedly ancient fragments, which accorded with his emotivist theories of poetic origins, and found their nobility of sentiment consonant with his view of literature as a means of promo- ting virtue.
Blair’s belief in the power of sympathetic emotion to inspire virtuous behaviour is evident in his advice for the cultivation of moral sensibility by observing moving scenes.

 Robert Burns Country: The Burns Encyclopedia: Blair, The Rev Dr Hugh (1718-1800)
Burns's Edinburgh admirer, the Rev Dr Hugh Blair, has been somewhat harshly treated by most of the poet's biographers but he was a man of genuine intellectual substance in his day.
Blair was at least partly responsible for the exclusion of 'The Jolly Beggars' from the Edinburgh edition, as well as of a poem, now lost, called 'The Prophet and God's Complaint'.
Blair always thought of Burns as a great and noble poet who had 'the words of the stable and the politics of the smithy'.
