Donald Campbell (traveller)
Donald Campbell (1751 – 5 June 1804), of Barbreck, was a Scottish traveller in India and the Middle East.
==Life==
Campbell published in London in 1795 ''A Journey over land to India... by Donald Campbell of Barbreck, who formerly commanded a regiment of cavalry in the service of the Nabob of the Carnatic: in a series of letters to his son''. The journey was made by way of Belgium, the Tyrol, Venice, Alexandria, Aleppo, Diyarbekr, Mosul, Baghdad, Bushire, Bombay, and Goa. He was shipwrecked in the Indian Ocean and made prisoner by Hyder Ali but was subsequently released. The book enjoyed much popularity. A new edition appeared in 1796, in quarto, like the first; in the same year an abridged version was published, in octavo, with the title ''Narrative of Adventures'' and a preface signed’ ‘S. J.’ The third part of the travels, relating to Campbell's shipwreck and imprisonment, was published as a chap-book, ''Shipwreck and Captivity of D. C.'' (London, 1800). He also published ''Letter to the Marquis of Lorn on the Present Times'' (London, 1798), protesting party factions in connection with the war with France.
Campbell died at Hutton, Essex, on 5 June 1804. He left a son, Frederick William Campbell.
