Commandant of the 1st Argyll & Bute Artillary Volunteers. He married Queen Victoria's 4th daughter, Princess Louise. They shared interest for art, but the marriage was childless and unhappy, and they spent much time apart. At 33, he was appointed Governor General of Canada.

They encouraged establishment of the Royal Society of Canada, the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, and the National Gallery of Canada, even selecting some of its paintings. Campbell was also involved in completion of the Canadain Pacific Railway and a hospital in British Columbia. He and his wife held lavish parties while in Canada. In 1881, Louise returned to England, and the Lord also in 1883, when he published his memoirs of Canada and Scotland. He was Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle from 1892 to 1914.

Job Hupton

1762 - 1849 Hymnal Number: d57 Author of "Come, ye faithful, raise an anthem" in The New Alphabetical Hymnal Hupton, Job, was born in 1762, at a small village near Burton-on-Trent. He was brought up to work at a forge, but after his conversion through the preaching of the Rev. John Bradford, one of Lady Huntingdon's ministers, whom he heard at Walsal, he began to preach; and after a few months at Trevecca College, was himself employed by Lady Huntingdon for some years as one of her itinerating ministers. Having changed his views on the subject of Baptism, he became, in 1794, pastor of the Baptist church at Claxton, in Norfolk, where he laboured with much success for many years. He died Oct. 19, 1849. Hupton wrote much both in prose and verse, his compositions appearing in the Gospel Magazine under the signatures of “Ebenezer," "Eliakini, and "J. H—n." His prose writings were collected and published in 1843, under the title The Truth as it is in Jesus. In 1861, D. Sedgwick reprinted his Hymns & Spiritual Poems, with a brief memoir. Of his 22 hymns three only are in common use:— 1. Come ye saints and raise an anthem. Praise. 2. Glorious, high, and lofty One. The Dominion of God. In Gospel Magazine, June, 1806. 3. Jesus, Omnipotent to save. Lent. The first of these, "Come ye," &c. (q.v.), in its altered form by Dr. Neale, is in extensive use, the rest ore in a few hymn-books only. Hupton had a bold and vigorous imagination and great command of language. If in early life he had enjoyed better educational advantages, he would probably have attained to eminence as a poet. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M. A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology
