Synopsis
James Beattie was born on October 25th, 1735 at Laurencekirk in the Mearns in Scotland. In 1749 James began his studies at Marischal College, Aberdeen. In 1753, he was awarded an MA degree. He then spent several years as a schoolteacher and briefly contemplated becoming a minister. At only 25, he was, in 1760, appointed Professor of moral philosophy at Aberdeen University. Later that year he published his first volume of poems 'Original Poems And Translations'. In 1765 he published The Judgment of Paris, which attracted much attention. However two further works were to gain him widespread fame. The first, published in 1770, was an essay - 'An Essay on the Nature and Immutability of Truth'. Intended as an answer to David Hume, this had great immediate success, and led to an introduction to the King, a pension of 200, and the degree of LL.D. from Oxford. In 1771 he published the first book of 'The Minstrel' and the second in 1774. These two volumes set his place in literary history. A noted abolitionist he was prominent in his argument in the aforementioned 'Essay on the Nature and Immutability of Truth (1770) and Elements of Moral Science. A gifted amateur cellist and member of the Aberdeen Musical Society. He considered questions of music philosophy in his essay 'On Poetry and Music'. With the death of his wife and two sons his health and spirits were broken and he died in on August 18th 1803 aged 67 in Aberdeen., James Beattie was born on October 25th, 1735 at Laurencekirk in the Mearns in Scotland.

    Great value. Exactly as described. Packed well and with care. Shipped very promptly. Seller was communicative, honest and responsive, resolving a concern I had that was ultimately found to be misplaced and unwarranted.

    Book as described. It is a reprint / copy of old text information and what appears to be good reference for the given topic. The reprint work is pretty good, only a few light spots in the text. It is nice to find old, historic information and this seller has provided that. Shipping was fair and fast the book is in good condition, and I thought it to be a fair price. Thank you - CEO_HLR
