About Hugh Blair

Hugh Blair

Hugh Blair

Hugh Blair (April 7, 1718 - December 27, 1800), was a Scottish author, considered one of the first great theorists of written discourse.

As a Presbyterian preacher and occupant of the Chair of Rhetoric and Belles Lettres at the University of Edinburgh, Blair’s teachings had a great impact in both the spiritual and the secular realms. Best known for Sermons, a five volume endorsement of practical Christian morality, and Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres, a prescriptive guide on composition, Blair was a valuable part of the Scottish Enlightenment.
