MACLEOD, NORMAN: Church of Scotland; b. at Campbeltown (38 m. w. by s. of Ayr), Argyllshire, June 3, 1812; d. in Glasgow June 16, 1872. In his Reminiscences of a Highland Parish (London, 1867) will be found an animated account of the old

he was proud to be descended, as well as graphic descriptions of the wild scenery, and free, out-of-door life, in the midst of which some of the happiest days of a happy boyhood were spent. It was, however, chiefly with the town of Campbeltown and its seafaring associations that the boy was familiar. On his impressible and sympathetic nature all the circumstances of those early years appear to have exercised a lasting influence. He entered the University of Glasgow, after an irregular classical training, in 1827, where he shone more in the students' social and political meetings than in the classrooms. Of general literature, however, he appears to have read much in those days, his favorite author in poetry being Wordsworth. In 1831 he removed to the University of Edinburgh, that he might take his theological course under Dr. Thomas Chalmers, then professor of divinity in that university. Before receiving license in 1837, he spent three years in the family of a Yorkshire gentleman, Mr. Preston of Moreby, as tutor to his son, during most of the time residing at Weimar, or elsewhere on the continent of Europe. This first of many visits abroad had an important influence on the development of the young man's character.
