The British Musical Biography

[E] Campbell, Donald, Scottish writer and
collector. Author of " A Treatise on the lan-
guage, poetry, and music of the Highland
clans, with illustrative traditions and anec-
dotes, and numerous ancient Highland airs,"
Edinburgh, 1862. This work contains a
number of ancient Highland melodies badly
set to inferior basses. The compiler describes
himself as " late lieutenant of the 57th
regiment," and appears to have been a resident
in Port-Glasgow on the Clyde. He was a
claimant to the Breadalbane Peerage.
