  James Beattie - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
JAMES BEATTIE (1735-1803), Scottish poet and writer on philosophy, was born at Laurencekirk, Kincardine, Scotland, on the 25th of October 1735.
In 1770 Beattie published his Essay on the Nature and Immutability of Truth in opposition to sophistry and scepticism, the object of which, as explained by its author, was to "prove the universality and immutability of moral sentiment" (letter to Sir W. Forbes, 17th January 1765).
Beattie visited London in 1773, and was received with the greatest honour by George III., who conferred on him a pension of £200 a year.

 Significant Scots - James Beattie
With a reluctant permission from Beattie, he exerted his influence with the Earl of Errol to apply, by means of Lord Milton, to the Duke of Argyll, who then dispensed the crown patronage of Scotland; and to the astonishment of the subject of the application, he received the appointment.
Beattie, whose poetical genius was strongly akin to that of Gray, wrote to him, intreating the honour of an interview; and this was speedily accomplished, by an invitation for Dr Beattie to Glammis Castle, where the two poets laid the foundation of a friendship that was only interrupted by the death of Gray in 1771.
Beattie was at this period in a low state of health, being afflicted with a kind of giddiness, which defied all his efforts to banish it, and even threatened to interrupt his professional duties.

 James Bautie, Student of Divinity
Beattie had, to begin with, this always infallible mark of an able man—an increasing sense of his own inability: and he had, along with that, this equally infallible mark of a spiritually-minded man—an overwhelming sense of his utter lack of anything like a spiritual mind.
Beattie's preaching and his whole pastorate will soon become another illustration of the truth that it is not gifts but graces in a minister that will in the long-run truly edify the body of Christ.
James Beattie was in very good company when he said that he must have more assurance, both of his gifts and his graces, before he could enter on his ministry.

 David Hume: Life and Writings [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
His assailant was James Beattie (1735—1803), the young professor of Moral Philosophy and Logic at Marischal College, Aberdeen, who believed that Hume’s sceptical and anti-religious philosophy posed a public threat to religion and morality.
Beattie was aware of Hume’s reaction, and was similarly aware of attempts by some of Hume’s friends to tarnish his reputation in retaliation.
Beattie prevailed, though, and was honoured by gaining an audience with the King and Queen, and receiving a royal pension.

Sharp told BBC Sport: "James Beattie has proved he can score goals in the Premiership and it's great news for Everton and David Moyes because he was clearly the top transfer target.
"Beattie has had injuries in the last couple of months, but when he's fit he's a proven goalscorer, and that extra goalscoring edge will be what Everton will really be looking for.
Sharp also believes Beattie's decision to choose Everton ahead of Aston Villa is confirmation that the Merseysiders are moving in the right direction once again.

Beattie's letter, then, was probably written within a few months prior to the appearance of the "Answer" in July 1780.
To understand the context of Beattie's letter and the "Answer" it generated, it is important to trace the history of the dispute between Beattie and the London Review as it appeared in various articles in that journal.
Although Beattie's Essay was published in 1770, he began working on it as early as 1765, and from the start it was intended as a polemical work against skepticism in general and Hume in particular.

George Campbell's The Philosophy of Rhetoric (London 1776) is a large-scale essay in which he takes a roughly Aristotelian position on the relation between logic and rhetoric, since he holds that convincing an audience, which is the province of rhetoric or eloquence, is a particular application of the logician's art.
It is against a background of discussion by prominent writers on language such as Locke and James (‘Hermes’) Harris that Campbell takes his stand with the claim that there cannot be such a thing as a universal grammar.

The truth of Beattie's allegory of the steep that guards the Temple of Fame is borne out by Carmichael's brief career, during which time her contemporaries misread her aims and intentions.
Nonetheless these dismissive accounts convey some sense of the obstacles Carmichael faced in her modest ambitions to be a writer.
If Carmichael did not have the range or ability to sustain a distinctive voice, she serves as an example of a poet who is working closely with models provided by writers she believes are worthy of imitation: Robert Fergusson and Robert Burns.
