Blair, Hugh (1718–1800), Scottish divine and professor of rhetoric in Edinburgh, is remembered for his famous sermons (5 vols, 1777–1801) and his
Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres (2 vols, 1784). He was a defender of
Macpherson; his
Critical Dissertation on the Poems of Ossian (1763) found that
Fingal possessed ‘all the essential requisites of a true and regular epic’.
