Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VEITCH, JOHN (1829-1894) , Scottish poet, philosopher, and historian of the Scottish border, son of a Peninsular veteran, was born at Peebles on the 24th of October 1829, and educated at Edinburgh University. He was assistant Iecturer successively
to Sir
William
  Hamilton and A. Campbell Fraser (1856-6o). In 186o he was appointed to the chair of logic, metaphysics and
rhetoric
  at St Andrews, and in 1864 to the corresponding chair at Glasgow. In philosophy an intuitionist, he dismissed the idealist arguments with some abruptness, and thereby lost much of the
influence
  gained by the force of his personal
character
 . He died on the 3rd of September 1894. He will be remembered chiefly for his
work
  on Border literature and antiquities.
He published translations of
Descartes
 ' Discours de la methode (185o) and Miditationes (1852) ; an edition of Sir W. Hamilton's lectures with memoir (1869, in collaboration with H. L.
Mansel
 ); Tweed, and other Poems (1875) ; History and Poetry of the Scottish Border (1877; ed. 1893); Institutes of Logic (1885); Knowing and Being (1889); Merlin (1889); Dualism and
Monism
  (1895) ; Border Essays (1896). See Memoir by his niece,
Mary
  R. L.
Bryce
  (1896).
