John Campbell Smith (1828–1914) was a Scottish writer, advocate and Sheriff-substitute of Forfarshire. He was a typical 'lad o' pairts' – a talented Scots boy of the 19th century who raised himself from extremely humble beginnings.〔Cf. http://www.britannia.org/scotland/scotsdictionary/l.shtml〕
== Life ==
Campbell Smith was born at Wellfield, near Leuchars in Fife on 12 December 1828. His father, John Smith was a weaver and farmer, and his mother was Anne Campbell.〔Births and deaths information at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.〕 He was educated at the village subscription school till the age of twelve when he became an apprentice mason. He worked at that trade until he earned what he thought was enough to obtain a university education. After saving about £25, he left his work on a Saturday afternoon in St. Andrews where he was working. On the Monday morning he went to Madras College in St. Andrews and, after receiving ten-month's teaching, he gained a bursary through public competition to enter St. Andrews University. The bursary enabled him to pay his fees and he supported himself by private teaching.〔''Obituary'' in the Scotsman newspaper, 4 September 1914, p.4.〕 Graduating M.A. in 1852, he was advised by Sir David Brewster and others to go on to Cambridge University but a teaching vacancy arose at Dundee Academy where he was appointed and held the post of second master for two years. After studying for the Bar, he practised as a successful advocate in Edinburgh. Besides working in the Court of Session, he also defended ministers in the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Becoming the Sheriff-substitute at Dundee in 1885, he distinguished himself as judge and was publicly presented with his portrait. His best known work is ''Writings by the Way'' (1885), which consists of sketches and biographies of famous Scotsmen previous published as articles in ''The Scotsman''. According to his ''Obituary'': "He believed he could have climbed higher if he had dodged like as a fox, or crawled like an adder" but he valued his own soul too much "to gain the world" or "the applause of multitudes."〔''Obituary'', p.4.〕 He married Hannah Spence Thomson on 21 March 1871 at Edinburgh〔Date of marriage as per tbeir children's birth certificates available at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk〕 and they had two sons and two daughters.〔1891 Census information available at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.〕 He died in Dundee on 3 September 1914.〔Births and deaths information at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk〕
