Harriette Campbell|1817|1841| Harriette Campbell (born 1817 died 1841), novelist, daughter of Robert Campbell, was born at Stirling in 1817 (Literary Gazette, 1841, page 170). She is said to have known many English, French, and Italian authors by her twelfth year (ibid'.'.) Her first published articles were 'Legends of the Lochs and Glens', which appeared in 'Bentley's Miscellany' (ibid'.'.); other papers of hers appeared in the 'Monthly Magazine'. Her first novel, 'The Only Daughter', finished in 1837, when she was twenty, was published in 1839. It was favourably received. Another novel, 'The Cardinal Virtues, or Morals and Manners connected', was published in 1841, 2 vols. But her health broke down; she fell ill, and was taken to the continent for the winter. A third novel, 'Katherine Randolph, or Self-Devotion', was written by Miss Campbell during her stay abroad; but she had a fresh attack of illness there, and died on 15 February 1841, aged 23. 'Katherine Randolph, or Self-Devotion', was published in 1842, with a preface by Mr. G. R. Gleig; and 'The Only Daughter' was reissued under the same editorship in the 'Railway Library' as late as 1859.[DNB 1][DNB 2][1]
